Hey just fyi in case you don't know, jetpack[1] is the name of a very well known wordpress plugin by Automatic. Might cause some confusion.

Searching for “jetpack” in a fresh —no cookies— browser session returns:

• https://jetpack.com/

• https://twitter.com/jetpack

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/

Which are the canonical URLs for JetPack, by Automatic.

KidkArolis will have a hard time promoting his project.

My suggestion for KidkArolis is to rename his project to one fo these:

• “ConvePack” considering the slogan “Webpack made more convenient”

• “WrapPack” considering the description “Jetpack wraps webpack”

• “SimplePack” assuming his project is simpler than WebPack

OR JustPack?

I remember one of the main Goal of WebPack 5 was sane defaults. ( I cant find the post anymore ) So hopefully the WebPack team can learn a lot from JetPack.

I had very similar critic of "server js", but with enough backlinks and a bit of time it seems to be solved. Though it's not exactly the same, in my case it was because of "noise", in this case it'd because of a competing brand. I'd say keep jetpack to see how it turns out, they are vastly different projects.

What about rocketpack, to fit its current naming theme?

Or spiderpack?

Netpack?

Silkpack?

They should rename it to WebPackJetPack, or WPJetpack for short. That will reduce confusion, right?

WPJetpack is even more confusing as WP is a prefix used for a lot of WordPress plugins...

That's the joke he's making, they chose a name that needs to be said in full to avoid confusion because all abbreviations will just lead to more confusion

Yes, my first thought was this post was WP related. (and then I actually read the link. ;) )
Re:Show HN: Jetpack – Webpack made more convenient by SquareWheel on Friday January 04, 2019 @01:49AM (#18822428)
It certainly confused me. I even read the title as "Jetpack - Wordpress made more convenient" simply because my expectation had been set.
