Brilliant work.

I don't like the name. I hope I'm allowed that.

How about nixitall ?

As much as i also would like another name (something that hints more at what this library does like your suggestion nixitall) i'm not sure loosing most name references of current tutorials on the web are worth it.

Those wouldn't be total losses. I expect search engines to figure out the rename. GitHub provides repo redirects, as well.

It would probably require quite a bit of work to rename everything, and might confuse users as e.g. videos and slides therein will probably not be updated.

I also think an argument for a name change might be more convincing if a list of pros and cons for the current name and proposed alternatives would be provided.

With all the open work and confusing situation about the v1 switch I am personally in favor of keeping at least the name stable :)
