I beg Foss devs to work on their branding. Forgejo? How's that even pronounced?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They have a pronunciation guide in their FAQ on the website. There is no branding that would be obvious/intuitive to everyone

There is def stuff that could be better though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

There is no better. Maybe they pick a name that's more intuitive for you, but it'd be less intuitive for someone else.

This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.

i thought it's Forge (as in Forget) - Jo (as in Joe)

NGL I would not have assumed that

I've been doing so many German lessons, I just say what I see. But it's confirmed on the FAQ

Where does the name come from?

Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.

Oh yeah I forgot about the Esperanto inspiration!
