Change the project/repo name?

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting confusion from people that there are two specters: Specter-Desktop and Specter-DIY. Would it be possible to change the name of one of them (and then the other could just be Specter)?

I know this is an annoying request, creates work, and doesn’t add functionality. I have no opinion on which project should have which name and what the other should be, only that I think the confusion is harming both.

As another anecdote, I wasn’t initially that excited about contributing to Desktop because I assumed Desktop was a project specifically/only for DIY. Separating the two names counter-intuitively makes Desktop more useful. The current full name Specter-Desktop is also quite the mouthful.

To be totally clear: I’m not proposing any change in maintainers, who has commit access, project direction, etc. It’s just confusing that these two different projects have almost the same name.

I’ve tried to crowdsource naming suggestions here: https://twitter.com/k9ert/status/1309037848411209740 Here is the list:

  • Specter Device
  • Specter Hardware
  • Ghost, spook, wraith and the like even Ecto short for Ectoplasm 😄
  • specter Offline <-- my favorite
  • Specter Delorean (because of some UX similarities 😉 )
  • Specterware
  • Pac-Bit

I think the most confusion is because both the software wallet and the hardware wallet have the name Specter in it. On the other hand, they are related, Specter Desktop started as a software wallet for Specter-DIY, but became more than that.
