    I can understand the desire to change it given that the current name is arguably a slur in some contexts, but this is a terrible new name. There was a fork awhile back with this same motivation called “Glimpse” - I really think they should have chosen a name with some continuity from the original, and certainly not what looks to be an initialism (I never would have come to “Wilbur” on my own).

      Glimpse makes a fuckton of sense, imo.

      Its sorta kinda close to the old name, it conveys the concept of imagery, and its also really easy to read and say.

      Like shit, I figured out just by playing team based shooters with voicecomms, that you want a username thats distinct, can be said in ideally one or two syllables.

      When you’re naming a product, yeah, having it be lingustically connected to the thing that it does, there yeah go, much better than ‘Squoombly’ or whatever.
