Postwoman is changing name ๐Ÿ›ธ

Liyas Thomas - Aug 8 '20 - - Dev Community

Hey all ๐Ÿ‘‹

Postwoman is changing name.
Our new identity aligns with our new focus โ€” to provide the best open source testing suite in web.

Towards that goal, we are thrilled to announce that v2 will have a new name and domain.

  1. Similarity in name with "Postman" may introduce trademark violations in future.
  2. We don't want to hurt any other project's goodwill.
  3. Rather than being an "alternative to Postman", we focus to become the best available testing suite in web.

Update: 16th August 2020

Postwoman is now Hoppscotch ๐ŸŽ‰

GitHub โ†’ Web app โ†’

Special thanks to @ben (co-founder DEV.to) for suggesting this name ๐Ÿ‘.

What about this name:

HoppScotch.

It's an alternate spelling of the game "hopscotch", and in my mind is a subtle nod to CS legend Grace Hopper, and implies "hopping" from one endpoint or web location to another.

"hopp" is also a similar in shape to "http".
