Oatmeal

Just in case that they haven't noticed this post yet I went to Mastodon and left a comment with a link to this post so it doesn't get missed

Names starting with a capital k feel like they are native KDE apps to me.

I vote Artemis

or other: mooncaKe

Seconding Artemis

Now that I think about it, Apollo - Artemis is pretty obvious. Would Apollo - Starbuck work or would it be too copyright troubley?

Oh I absolutely love the BSG reference with choosing the name Starbuck, but if branding with the coffee is an issue, I think Artemis or even KBucks would work tbh

Coffee company can't be an issue. They are starbucks, not starbuck. The copyright issue could arise from the BSG franchise itself as not only is the character their IP, it's a direct reference to BSG because it makes sense only in that context.

Ah, that makes sense, thank you for clarifying!

Artemis with like a logo of like a bow and arrow could be cool. Or a quiver since it would hold multiple arrows each arrow being an instance or something.

My first thought too was Athena. Farewell Apollo.

Artemis. Great name and doesn’t imply a fixture to any one fed platform.

Chookity pok!

I might be a bit bias, but I do like mooncaKe.

PS: Obligatory fuck Warner Bros. Discovery for cancelling Final Space.

Dev here! I’ll be taking a look at all the suggestions here for those that can’t vote on the toot itself :)

I don't think you can get better than Artemis and Apollo being twins representing day and night. Night has come for reddit.

Any way to interact with mastodon from Kbin?

yep! kbin fully supports microblog content and all kbin posts appear as they should on mastodon

I don't know about this app in particular but if it fully implementes kbin's api it should work

Can I vote for the app name without signing into mastodon? It doesn't seem to let me

Yes, you can follow mastodon users and they can follow you. You can see what each other post, basically. I tested it out with my Mastodon account and my kbin account.

iOS only 🙄, how about Chi-Chi.

Good news: it is not iOS only. I'm not sure why the poster put that in the title. It is going to be cross-platform. The beta sign-ups are evenly split between platforms. @hariette has posted about this a few times.

That is great to hear, thank you for the info.

Kilimanjaro, so there's a strong K and L sound. Maybe shorten it to KiLe, or something, but still pronounced like the first syllable.

Saw on on mastodon you have the vote options and it was shared on kbin. Wonder how all the votes will get tallied…?

Pretty soon "Apollo" won't be taken by anything. What could go wrong?

I would vote for something straightforward, like LeBin. Artemis sounds cool, but it's also a very commonly used word. That will make it harder to search for and advertise to new users. Kbin is unique and easy to find; other made up or obscure words would work as well.

+1 for Artemis. Siiick name. Also one of my favorite Hades characters. I can just imagine the logo being a bow and arrow of some sort.
