electron-app is boring, lets find something cool and awesome :)

[jbenet]

some suggestions:

• Station
• IPFS App
• IPFS Node
• IPFS
• IPApp
• INode

I would stick with capital IPFS. It's simple, and differentiates itself from the cli with capital letters. If ambiguity between the two becomes an an issue, maybe a codename like Station would be good.

I would keep the word node away from anything not specifically related to ipfs code written for node since its super confusing whenever I see that word in this project.

The capital // lowercase ambiguity will swiftly become an issue. Station is a good suggestion.

I like station as well.

station is sadly taken on npm already, we could go with ipfs-station or use a scoped package. I also contacted the author of the package: Marak/station#3 if he would be willing to give the name up.

I'd prefer using ipfs-station as a pkg name to scope all our modules. But we can still just use "Station" if we want to in the UI/ux (both "station" and "IPFS Station" sound great)
