Lovely idea but what is that name
German word for flea market
Now that I know I love it.
could've just read the first two paragraphs.
Reading the article before posting?
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
I just realized the Swedish slang for flea market would work a charm. Loppis. It even sounds like a hip app. Someone quick make it an open fedi platform before the capitalists take it!
Edit: It's short for loppmarknad. Loppa = flea. Marknad = market.
Loppis sounds way better than Flohmarkt, and I say that as a german native speaker.
I don't know how, but i kinda imagined it even though i don't speak a word of German (nor i am an English native speaker). It just... uh, sounds like it.
It's quite obvious from the context
That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.
Guess the creators are Germans…
A standard name for a open source project \s
