  Has the problem of having Discord in the name. Also Harmony is pretty much opposite of Discord. Good name.

    It was originally going to be Entropy (there might actually still be references to that in the code) but 3 seconds in Google turned up a decentralised messaging app called that so went with a name change. Now it just sounds like an early internet dating site.

      A little bit, but it’s probably okay. Hope it takes off!

    That’s true, maybe “Yet Another Discourse Alternative”? Discussion Alternative? I just like the idea of a chat platform whose acronym is YADA.

      Discourse is already a platform, too 😅

      YADA is a funny acronym though.

    I’d you just call it YADA without it being an acronym…

  I thought the same right after I posted. Damnit. :(

    IME, code projects either die or live long enough that you think of a better name for them long after a name change becomes not worth the effort. Naming things is hard 🤷‍♂️

  They could’ve shortened it to YADA YADA.

  No for real love this name, just call it YADA, though you might get a cease and desist from seinfield.

  At work one of our application names is “just another generator of…” and we just call it jag
