This fork is too difficult to find

[alkaris2]

So it was just occurring to me that the name Urn when searched is very difficult name to search for when you're specifically looking for this split tracker in particular. If I try to search "Urn" on it's own, it brings up what you pretty much expect... search results of Urns and shops where to buy from online. Under Google you can kinda find it almost right away if you specify "github" in the search term, but if I search on DuckDuckGo for example, it shows up as search as number 16 in the results.

As a livesplit tracker for speedruns you want it to be easily recognizable, and easily searchable when searches for it without it being hidden under a bunch of different search results. So I'm making it a proposal to rename Urn to something more fitting, and let people decide on the name, however you'll still have linked reference to the original project under the name Urn, so you'll also have to make it easily distinguishable on the README.md file that this fork is renamed once a name has been decided on.

Proposal:
Rename Urn to something more easily recognizable and easily searchable

• Rename Urn Livesplit Tracker

Suggestion of names to propose should be commented below here, before eventually putting to a vote that everyone can agree on. I would think this would be a pretty simple proposal since you're pretty much replacing every instance name "urn" throughout the entire code base, with the only remaining remnants of it's name mentioned being the project it was forked from.

Didn't think of this before. Personally, I have no problem with the current name but I'll be happy to consider any proposals. We can go with one if it has enough support :)

Personally i think the name totally fits for what the program is aimed at...even if it's only a intentionally play on Words which originated in a SM64-Speedrun Community iirc. "This is the run" turned to "This is teh urn".

Almost every runner (at least) in my bubble knows the term "urn" in the context of speedrunning. So using a program which is called "Urn" for Speedrunning is kinda nice imho ^^"

You're gonna have to forgive me but I didn't know that, definitely a realization moment for me!! I think I'm sticking with preserving the Urn name too. About the SEO part, this fork didn't get too much love from search engines yet, this issue can be left opened to see how we can address that.

you could try and getting it on flathub and that would boost visibility
