I do really like Tonkotsu :)

But beyond that, we wanted a playful, accessible brand. We think dev tools (particularly ones like Tonkotsu) are consumer products and we didn't want the staid/corporate branding many tools have.

im thinking about the properties of Tonkotsu [broth], in comparison/contrast to Tonkotsu [app] such as traditional, frugal, ubiquitous, vital, etc.

its one of the first things i consider when i see a duet like this.

i get a visual of a barren dev cubicle, with a young dev sitting at the terminal, slouched over a bowl of ramen, while coding.
