I mean it is clear that it’s an aggregator (? Not sure what the right term is for this) but I can’t even begin to count the number of times I access Radarr instead of Sonarr because I forgot which one is for shows or movies.
There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.
Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.
I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

Why? It’s a brand at this point and lets you know exactly what its about.

Did you mean aggrrrregator?

Agreed it would be nice if radarr and sonarr were combined into one, but Youtubearr is at least pretty descriptive.

Sonarr is for series - that’s how I remember :-)

To be fair, jellyseerr is a fork of overseerr focused on jellyfin, so the name at least makes sense.

What is a brand? “Sonarr”? Never heard that.

IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.
(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)
