If the name continues to be a source of confusion over time, we’ll happily revisit it.



The audience that you posted this at will never get over that unfortunate product name, as I bet they are heavy users of the real screen program, (or tmux)

Has there been no real research that your chosen name is already taken?


I’ve posted a top level comment addressing this issue since it’s probably best to have the discussion in one place.

But yes, we didn’t hear from anyone in our private beta that there was any confusion regarding our name, and we ourselves completely missed the fact that GNU Screen exists with this name. I’m sorry for the confusion, and we will revisit our naming decision.


dude, don't worry about it.
