Greenfield – The In-Browser Wayland Compositor

Greenfield is an existing tech buzzword. Does this leverage the same mentality or just a name?

Greenfield is a city in Massachusetts, United States. Just like Wayland.

Oh my god I didn't know that's where that came from! As a mass-hole, that's cool to learn about the origin.

> Greenfield is a city in Massachusetts

Not the first city I'd pick for a project. Maynard, Weston, Wellesley all are near Wayland and seem less connected to existing buzzwords.

Edit: No criticism of the project though, seems pretty cool! Don't want to come off too negative about the name. This is a really cool project, and I can image some fun uses for it in the future.

Weston already exists and is a Wayland compositor. :)
