[Question] Name and branding

tl;dr: literally "lite" & icon/logo from icon.ico?

I'm really impressed by this project an I'd like to see this editor listed in alternativeto.net database (and similar). However I'm not sure about current application name, "lite" per se sounds very generic, vague, hard to search for, and I wouldn't be surprised if it even caused some copyright trouble in the future (IANAL).

So before submitting anywhere I'd like to make sure that:

  • Should it be listed as "lite" or should it rather be called by some more unique name, like rxi lite / lite by rxi / rxi-lite / lite editor or other?
  • Initial l is really supposed to be lowercase, right?
  • /icon.ico can be used as "Product icon / logo" verbatim (or up-scaled to multiple without aliasing)?

Bonus question: is author related to creator of https://alternativeto.net/software/sfxia/ ?

Thanks for the kind words!

  • I've seen people refer to it as rxi/lite (I assume in reference to the URL) to avoid ambiguity, this seems like a good choice if lite is too generic a name for your use case
  • The l is typically lowercase
  • Someone went to the effort of making an svg version of the icon if you need it in a larger size

Bonus answer: sfxia was a small weekend project I made (not sure why its listed there as windows only despite also having a linux version)
