Description

enhancement question T25m

Given that the App Naming Guidelines: "Name should not begin with 'GitHub' or 'Gist'":
image
(we cannot simply call our App "GitHub Issue Backup")

We need to come up with a name that:

  • describes exactly what the App does. (no "{{Color || Adjective}} ++ {{Anmial}} names!!)
  • we can get a Domain Name for (regardless of the TLD for now)
  • we can get a "short url" for.
  • we can get good SEO for. (i.e. don't try to use a word or words that are widely used!)

e.g: if the Project/App was called Git Issue BackUp ("GIBU") we would use a short url like: gibu.io/dwhq321 would link to https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/321
(we would need to define an algorithm for generating the "alpha" part of the /path
in this case I've used the "first two chars of :owner" ++ "first two chars of :repo" ... i.e. dw+hq
where there is a conflict we try more chars from :owner or :repo until it's unique ...)

So that we can great service for the community!

Naming things is "hard" so delegating to our resident "names" person: @iteles

We need a few words that describe the service we are creating ...

  • Issues
  • Backup
  • Backlog
  • Accountability
  • Log
  • History
  • Version
  • Revision
  • Rollback
  • "Safe"
  • Timetravel 😉
