If anyone is able to just post the vid that would be great

For me personally iOS, but I kept the question generic so it would be applicable to more than one platform.

Thanks. It’s definitely one of the best web apps I have ever used.

There definitely is content, but some of the more niche communities are understandably still a bit slow

Currently it’s a web app

 

Would make it much easier to increase activity on Lemmy with actual content (instead of memes lol)

I agree with the name change. I don’t like Badger though, probably mainly due to associations with badgers.

Suggestions Argonaut: a person in quest of something dangerous but rewarding; adventurer. Obviously related to mythology (Jason & The Argonauts), but not overdone like the deities. Generally a clear unique name that signifies the “adventure” that is the fediverse. Also flexible in terms of mascots and app icons.

Dragonfly: planned spacecraft and NASA mission to the largest moon of Saturn (in line with the current icon). I generally like the space theme.

Pioneer: name of various space missions. Also relates to the general aim of the app to lead or significantly contribute to the growth of a (to most people) novel area of the internet (i.e. the fediverse).

Traverse: already the name of one of the tabs in the app and I kinda like it. It’s simple and it signifies travelling across the fediverse.

Hermes / Mercury: as mentioned in another comment, Greek/Roman deity able to travel between worlds (which relates to “travelling” across the fediverse). The whole deities theme is a bit overdone though.

Mallory: name of the mountaineer who participated in the first three (British) Mount Everest expeditions (and maybe the first to reach the top, but this is controversial as he never returned from his last trip). A pioneer in his own field. Also the name of the character Dr. Mallory in the series Space Force.

General tips Whether you go with one of the suggestions or not, I think it is important to pick a somewhat abstract name so people can form associations with it without be hindered by strong existing associations (which is the problem with Badger I think). Furthermore, pick something that is in line with the goal of the app/team, so it resonates with the team and early adopters.

Obvious tips Google a name and look on the app store before picking one (for example, I know ‘Orion’ is already the name of an upcoming browser).

Pick a name that is “phonetic”, so people potentially hearing it on a podcast can easily look for it.

I mean there are fewer missile strikes in Spa so he’s got a point

Generally not a fan of the sprint weekend format, but this one was pretty enjoyable (probably mainly due to the weather)

 

[kleinezeitung.at] Helmut Marko: ’‘AlphaTauri will have two new leaders in 2024, Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer. There will be new sponsors and a new name. The orientation is clear: follow Red Bull Racing as far as the regulations allow. Own designs are the wrong way to go.’’

 

“The intention is to make sure in the new regulation the engine [noise] itself will be higher because that’s part of our emotion,” he [Domenicali] told Australian radio station 3AW. “It is really what our fans want to hear and that’s the duty for us to commit to that.”
