I think we can choose the name of a famous cartographer whose name is easy to pronounce in any language.

And then,

[Cartographer Name] + ["Maps" in your language]

Males me think of Jacques Cartier whose surname sounds like Cartes (French for map).

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the French word for cartographer?

Nonorganic Maps?

I keed, I keed.

My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.

In Vivo Maps

The one that lives within or is in the living. It's alive in all of us (the community) and the other way around: our contributions live within the app and OSM. Also, its supposed to be the fork that lives on. I think this would be a subtle nudge without carrying a scarred name like phoenix/revival with the project forever.

this one sounds good. it's short and memorable

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Haha when I got the notification email I thought you meant that "merde" as an app name was good, short, and memorable 😂
