Just curious why did you name the platform Vitriol?

I like the idea, but came here to raise a similar point:

Vitriol - a distributed abuse platform

the snarks practically write themselves

Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificandoque Invenies Occultum Lapidem

The name could be a bit more polished.

It comes from "Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem", an alchemical motto. No reference to hate intended.

Whatever the intent, how it will be perceived is effectively out of your control. Its current name is a headwind, actively working against its potential for success. If the project is important to you, you must rename it.
