Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?

I think we can choose the name of a famous cartographer whose name is easy to pronounce in any language.

And then,

[Cartographer Name] + ["Maps" in your language]

Males me think of Jacques Cartier whose surname sounds like Cartes (French for map).

My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.

I'm not sure what you mean by that

~~Social Street Maps~~

I feel like it should be something that rolls off the tongue. Something easy to search and not awkward to recommend irl. Sucks because Organic Maps was pretty good in both those cases

The one that lives within or is in the living. It's alive in all of us (the community) and the other way around: our contributions live within the app and OSM. Also, its supposed to be the fork that lives on. I think this would be a subtle nudge without carrying a scarred name like phoenix/revival with the project forever.

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.

this one sounds good. it's short and memorable

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haha when I got the notification email I thought you meant that "merde" as an app name was good, short, and memorable 😂
