Should we rename this repository/package? #645

Archmonger started this conversation in Ideas

So there's a couple of reasons to consider a rename.

  1. SEO
    • Right now it's a bit hard to find IDOM. For me personally, it was really difficult initially finding this package.
  2. Name Clarity
    • Some beginners won't immediately know what IDOM does without first knowing what a Documented Oriented Model is, so they might not click on the project. But, IDOM's usage is simple enough to where the user doesn't actually need to understand what a DOM is.

Here's a couple potential names that could increase name clarity.

  • ReactPy (My personal favorite)
  • ReactiPy
  • Python-React
  • Reactive

I personally believe having React in the name makes sense for us, since we heavily rely on the ReactJS Client to do anything in the front-end.

Comment below if you have other naming ideas, have a personal favorite name, or if you agree/disagree with this.

If we perform a name change, this should be done sooner rather than later. The longer a package exists, the more difficult a name change becomes.

+1 to a name change! I'm not super involved in the project, but I do agree that a different name that implies the reactive nature of this project will help.

reactive-python.com seems good to me

Got a response back on the PEP-541, looks like this user has a couple unused packages and is unreachable. Might gain control of the name in the next week or two.

Ownership transfer for reactive went through 🎉

Cheers to that 🍻

We'll also need new branding. A first pass logo could be the react atom except the loops around the atomic core are one or more snakes.

Do you plan to keep the dependency on ReactJS? I am asking because it would be very convenient if we could load other JS frameworks like Alpine.js.

IDOM's custom component interface doesn't require you to use React. So long as you appropriately implement a bind() function, you can do whatever you want. The template repo uses React (which we should have a VanillaJS one too) but you could remove that if you wanted.
