New name proposals - Harness has terrible search ability

[frenchie4111]

Many people have told me that Harness is a terrible name for this project. It's very hard to find the project on Google, and that will basically always be true. It's also not technically a harness. At best it is a harness harness so the name doesn't even really make sense.

Does anyone have a better idea?

[big-guy]

Yeah, I ran into confusion when telling people about this.

In the vein of something that holds something up:

• Belt
• Suspenders
• Braces (UK suspenders)

Or safety gear:

• Safety Harness (instead of just Harness)
• Seat belt
• Rigging

Or construction terms:

• Girder
• Frame
• Truss
• Lumber

Since Harness manages a bunch of work trees:

• Forest
• Timber
• Canopy
• Grove
• Orchard
• Thicket
• Kudzu (invasive plant that covers trees)
• Trellis

Other ideas:

• Powerline
• Space center
• Harkness
• Sharpness
• Forklift
• Workhorse

I'm sure a lot of these already have AI associated with them somehow.

It's funny googling those suggestions. Like you said, so many already have things associated with them. "belt ai" is literally a tool for vibe coding desktop apps. "Rig ai" is a local first agentic ai code editor (not released)

I personally like short and sweet names myself so like "Zed" being an example of a short/sweet name

I guess there are no original ideas left:

This is very similar to Harness

I'll leave this here:

Harness -> Harn ess -> Harn
Harness -> Har ness -> Ness
Harness -> Harn ess -> Harry S -> Harry S Truman -> Truman

Harn is taken in several ways.

Ness and Truman do not appear to be.

Hear me out:
"Nessy" and we change icon to a lockness monster

I want to move this project to an organization but I'll wait until we find a good name so I don't have to move it twice
