Steemit Naming Contest: Rename this site!steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit8 years ago

steemit.com?!

No, not really. This site is going to continue to be named steemit.com. But we do need a new name for the software that runs it.

No, not the blockchain app written in c++ (steemd), but the javascript application that is our web front-end code. Right now, we are using the term "steemit.com" to refer both to the website you're probably reading this on, as well as the big ball of JS code that is responsible for drawing it on your screen.

It lives here: https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com

It is our hope that we can remove all default references to "steemit.com" from this code (though we will continue to use it for this site, of course), and make it dead-simple for anyone to deploy on their own server and on their own domain name. To that end, we need a new name, to logically separate the "steemit.com javascript codebase" from "the steemit.com website" (which will retain its current name).

Naming Contest

Here's your chance to be part of our community's shared history, and to win ONE THOUSAND cool steem backed cents.

I'll judge the comments in about a week and pick the best one, just like last time. :)

Preferred: pronounceable words or names 20 characters or less

Averse: initialisms and abbreviations, multi-word names, et c.

It should be clear and unambiguous without spaces or capitals or punctuation, as it will end up at github.com/steemit/<your name here>.

Good luck, and thank you!

is that with the smile face or with out?

Spaces and special characters were not allowed, so it would have to be without :)

First runner-up. I liked this one a lot. :)

Playing off the answer by @demotruk I will suggest

Locomotive

because this js is the thing that is "causing motion" as it moves us all to participate in the engine moving steem forward!

How funny, I seem to have onboarded the Steem train 7 months late, but when I saw this post I asked myself, why choose Condenser for the engine name? Did nobody suggest Locomotive? But someone did, so I guess there is good reasoning behind the decision here
