Improving the project name

[Hebgbs]

Fossify? Really? Coming fresh from Brodie's video about the project, there are some other, more clever names you could had used. (BTW appreciate the effort, just a little gentle ribbing and stoking the fires of passion to hopefully give this project a more punchy name.)

PureDroid / Pure Tools were already discussed elsewhere, why not CleanDroid or Clean Tools? The collective project as CleanSuite? Or maybe, even better considering the moral of SMT's story was a fable of commercialisation, and that this name also contains all letters for the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), AesopTools.

Throw your hat in the ring and let's see what sticks.

It's already explained that the name won't be changed: #2 (comment).

And if you'd like to discuss certain app names, there is an ongoing poll: https://github.com/orgs/FossifyX/discussions/23.

@Hebgbs Well, naming is hard.

If we name it Clean Tools, who's to say it won't be associated with this?

Also, CleanDroid: https://www.google.com/search?q=CleanDroid

Meanwhile: https://www.google.com/search?q=Fossify (check the first link)

I understand that the name is not interesting to the general population but I believe people will get used to it. When I first learned the name "Google", it sounded weird to me and I was 14!

And respectfully, Brodie Robertson was part of that discussion and he didn't explicitly say anything about the organization name: #2 (comment) (I'm not sure if that's because he thought the organization and its apps will have matching names).

But... this is a community fork, not a corporation. If enough people want something, it'll happen. Just like the app name prefix poll votes started favoring Pure-Gallery, and Pure-Calendar as soon as Brodie posted his video 4 hours ago saying Pure-* is much better and linked our project (thanks for that!).

With that said, we won't be doing polls for every little detail because we are on a clock. @Hebgbs If you are serious about changing the project name, bring lots of more traffic demanding the name change and it'll probably happen 👍

We don't want to spend more time finding better names because:

• Most of the people responding here are okay with it. Some quite like it and even prefer it over the longer SimpleMobileTools. Hell, we liked FossifyX too.
• We don't have that kinda time. As you may already know, this is not a commercial project.
• We all have subjective experiences and we are all different. There will always be some who do not like the name we choose and I think that's okay.

@naveensingh I would move it at least to discussions :)

[naveensingh]

@inson1 do you want me to convert this issue into a discussion? or create a separate discussion to change the organization name?

[inson1]

@naveensingh convert :) I dont think it should be issue :) @Hebgbs doesnt have enough support for that
But I would let something open, so people dont create new ones and if yes or they ask we could just redirect them there
