I beg Foss devs to work on their branding. Forgejo? How's that even pronounced?
Forge-yo
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!
i thought it's Forge (as in Forget) - Jo (as in Joe)
Nein
9! 9! 9!
This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.
I think it sounds cool 🤷
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.
There is no better. Maybe they pick a name that's more intuitive for you, but it'd be less intuitive for someone else.
Do you believe that there can be no such thing as good or bad branding? Do you think that design work has no value?
