The OP has another project called parrot

https://github.com/GetParrot/Parrot

so I think he just likes parrots and the name is coincidence.

Yep! Macaw will be the future router of Parrot. I'm doing a rewrite.

Ah, there you go. That is quite a coincidence.

two people can't name their thing after the same bird?

Well when one thing has had a viral kickstarter campaign, been on every Tech blog, and its name known by just about every developer who cares about web design. Then to hear something else named the exact same name around the same time feels kinda weird.

I've definitely never heard of your project. Not saying this to be mean, just show that not everyone has heard of it.
Re:Macaw - A Simple PHP Router by phaed on Sunday December 29, 2013 @01:30PM (#6980591)
Not my project.
Re:Macaw - A Simple PHP Router by krapp on Saturday December 28, 2013 @11:55PM (#6978446)
Or maybe it's not nearly as big a deal as you think it is and OP just likes parrots.

I have never heard of macaw.co. I think your idea of developers that care about web design is flawed.

I agree with OP. While maybe "oblivious" is a bit condescending, I would be a little peeved if I was a founder of Macaw... the design tool that has been hugely popular here lately.
