Same here. Would have just upvoted, but upvote counts aren't visible and people are replying to disagree.

I figured this was a web-based SSH terminal, which is pretty cool. Adding "Web" prefix to a popular product's name pretty clearly implies a web port.

First thing I thought, I was quite confused.

I had never heard of WebPutty until this post, and when I saw the headline I got excited that I could install PuTTY and use it in my browser. I understand where the devs got the name as explained in the post down below this, but even clever names need to have some consideration of existing product names.

I disagree. Prefixing names with "Web" is common but not pervasive. "Putty" is just an English word. BTW the SSH client is actually called PuTTY.

That's not a question. :)

OK, i'll bite. How did the product get the name, WebPutty?

No need to answer if this question is wasting useful development time.

It's just the idea of making the web, specifically your site, a little more malleable, that you can quickly morph how it looks.
