Agreed, but if everyone named things merely descriptively… we’d end up with like 200 apps named “Image Resizer.”
So it’s a bit of a conundrum, because descriptive names are clearly far superior, but if everyone used only descriptive names, most apps would be very similarly named, and then you’d have to filter based on author/developer.
And frankly a lot of us aren’t clever enough to make up a name that is both descriptive and memorable like “Resizeratus Rex” lol.
You make a good point. I’m not very creative, so I just take whatever project I’m most copying and make a spin off of that. TBF, sometimes the association to what it does is nebulous, but I try.

You created Resizeratus Rex, so you are more creative than you give yourself credit for
Thanks. I’ve only got a couple of those in me, though, and now I’ve wasted one on someone else’s project.
