Name ideas — devtools

Devtools startup names

Developers reward names that feel like commands: short, lowercase-friendly, easy to type twenty times a day. The category tolerates — even likes — terse invented words, as long as the name survives being said aloud in a standup.

How to name a devtools startup

  • Optimize for the terminal: short, no hyphens, pleasant to type as a CLI command.
  • Verbs beat nouns — developers adopt tools they can "just run".
  • .dev and .sh are credible here in a way they are not in other industries.
  • Search the name on GitHub and npm before you fall in love.
