In a company I worked at recently, we released a fantastic shiny-new thing. It was a smaller version of another product called `cargo`, which did something related to packaging.
The question is, what should we call it? Here are some names we came up with:
parcelpackagefreightcargo-minigatewayspecific-and-boring-product-descriptioncatalystAny guesses which are the best names?
Our developers and users already knew about cargo. They
had the mental context in their head. Because of this,
cargo-mini makes sense as a smaller version of
cargo. I’m quite a fan of absurdly verbose but specific
names, so I’m also a fan of
specific-and-boring-product-description
