Discussion: new name!

[pirate]

Hey everyone! I have a big refactor in the works with some breaking changes, and I thought I'd take this opportunity to re-release BA with a better name and a 1.0 version.
The new release modularizes BA into a python package, which lets people import individual parts for their own uses (e.g. parsers, link archiving, screenshotting, indexing). It fixes a lot of the bad decisions I made early on (e.g. using timestamps as unique keys instead of sha256 hashes of the URLs). It also adds a backend with a web GUI for searching and adding imports.

The new name should be easy to find and type in a python packaging context and should be related to web archiving somehow.

Requirements for a new name:

• one word
• no symbols or spaces (since it's going to be imported as a python package like from webfreeze.pocket import parse_links
• should be 1st in google results when released with a new name (i.e. no competing projects/keywords)
• should be intuitively related to web archiving

Potential ideas:

• WebFreeze
• Freezekit
• ArchiveKit
• WebCooler

Comment with your name suggestions/ideas!

I think my official vote goes to FreezeKit, upvote/downvote this comment with the reaction emoji if you agree or disagree.

I like WebFreeze the most from your list.
Some random ideas (did not checked on google):

• HTTPFridge (Can be a cool (phun intended) logo with a refridgerator)
• WebFridge

I like short simple words like memex, though that word has too much history and too many other projects to be a good choice. If memex was supposed to be a portmanteau of memory and index, maybe we could take a similar approach and try something like memarc (memory and archive), or arcex (archive and index). None of those quite have the same ring to them, but there may be something down that road.

I also like aaarchive, but I suspect that things like Google will always interpret that as a typo and assume you meant archive.

I don't know if you want to keep the reference to bookmarks, but if you do I'd suggest FreezeMark.

Haha @pigmonkey it's funny that you suggest that name, "memex" is used by a friend of mine for his project @hyfen https://hyfen.net/

My favorite candidates so far are:

• Aaarchive
• WebFridge
• WebFreeze

Aaarchive gets my vote.
