Just wanted to start by saying how much I love your client—seriously, you’re an amazing dev, and it’s a privilege to use Nostur. It’s my favorite iOS client and my daily-driver.
Personally though, I’d rather you keep it as Nostur for now rather than another Nos related name. Change the name when you’re ready for a rebranding/design sprint down the road. I think it’d be pretty exciting to release all that at once.
Regrading names: The reason I’m a die-hard Nostur fan is because it’s always got the latest features, it’s fast, and reliable. You’ve kept it true to being a nimble open-source client and have been connected to the broader Nostr ecosystem. You were the first (and for the most part still only) iOS dev to incorporate features like NIP-23, Nests, zap.stream, lists, etc etc. Nostur kind of reminds me of a root, vine, or nerve (or maybe an octopus?)—fluid, has the potential to grow in any direction, able to move and transform in its environment and absorb important “nutrients” from its surroundings.
Things that come to mind for me are: Tendril, Rhizome (or Rizome), Synapse, Dendrite, Dendryx. Some Octopus related ones could be tako, polpo, kraken.
Anyway, feel free to ignore my mostly unsolicited advice. You’re doing fucking awesome job with the client and you’ve got some extremely loyal users. Don’t stop!
