New name for TTYtter about oysttyer HOT 24 CLOSED

Personally, I like TweeTerm (could be also TwiTterm or something), because it's easy to pronounce (unlike TeaTeaTer, which is too long I think). SIGTWEET isn't bad either.

So, my idea is:

• twitterm (not sure about the capitalization, TwiTTerm, twitTerm, twitTERM, ... )
• CLItter (ehm, yea, that sounds like a dirty pun, I know)

from oysttyer.

I like twitterm, but it looks like that's already used for a few things -- an NPM module, etc.

from oysttyer.

What about

twitty / twiTTY

It's like Twitter
It's still got tty in it.
It's short, sweet and pronounceable.

from oysttyer.

Some others I thought of while cycling home:

• PerlsOfWisdom
• Perity (bit obscure: Perl + Parrots (bird,tweet) + "Who's a pretty boy then?")
• OysTTYer
• DontClamUp (bit naff)
• TeleTweet
• Twerminal
• TweeTTY (My current fav)

from oysttyer.

I really like TweeTTY!

from oysttyer.

@tjharman Oooh close, prefer TweeTTY though.

from oysttyer.

Don't worry, so do I!

TweeTerm and Twetty are taken, so I'm gonna say +1 for Twerminal.

"George". As in "I will hug it and squeeze it and call it George." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Mice_and_Men_in_popular_culture#In_cartoons_and_animation)

from oysttyer.

I really like Twitty. The next best for me is Twerminal, but it's uncomfortably long, TBH.

from oysttyer.

I'm also on a +1 for Twerminal

from oysttyer.

Hmm, found this: https://github.com/developingo/twerminal

Naming things is hard.

from oysttyer.

TwiTTYr? (There are lots of TwiTTY already).

Or go crazy: TTYTTYr

from oysttyer.

Add in an extra "i" and we are probably ok with TwiiTTY.

But by now I'm kind of fed up with trying to play on TTYtter, TTY, Twitter and terminals, etc.

Maybe something different? Perlow as a contraction of Perls of Wisdom?

(I'm not at all concerned about finding a free twitter account username for the project either. We can just hashtag for support).

from oysttyer.

Lots of "Chatty"s, but no ChaTTYer

Don't really like it though. Although almost beyond caring.

from oysttyer.

naTTYr

For "Not another Twitter..." (From the Floodgap page). Also has TTY. And also pronounced as "Natter" which means to chat, etc.

from oysttyer.

It's been 8 days, I think it's time to put it to a vote: Here's a form ballot, select as many as you like. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xkufmfy6WkeEDKRpuflIzCaKE-LKVBYw3GTt3zl_iAI/viewform?usp=send_form

(I dropped any proposals that had name collisions with other Twitter clients or any that could be misread as inappropriate names)

from oysttyer.

@funnelfiasco Any clear winner yet?

from oysttyer.

As of today, it looks like twitterm is the clear winner. Full voting results:

9 twitterm
5 twiTTY
3 TTYweet
3 TTYeet
3 TTYTTYr
3 SIGTTWEET
3 OysTTYer
2 TweeTTY
2 Perity
1 sttytter
1 PerlsOfWisdom
0 TwiTTYr
0 DontClamUp

Hm, I'm not sure how I missed that when checking for collisions (or I didn't but accidentally re-added it in the survey). I say you just declare a winner among your favorites (I'm partial to OysTTYer).

Ok, by unpopular vote we've gone with oysttyer. I really don't mind it either. It's got "TTY" in it and there is the link to Perl as well.
