Clarify lack of relationship to withoutboats/notty #28
Conversation
Address #3 by adding documentation explaining that this project is unrelated to withoutboats/notty.

Thank you! Sadly, this fix is a little incomplete -- we must first clarify our relationship with Eva Notty, before setting out to systematically distance ourselves from any further Nottys. And I believe that this can not be done appropriately in less than 800 vehemently critical words. If you would kindly solve that problem first, I would be happy to accept both fixes. |

withoutboats/notty is also a piece of software related to terminals, and there is thus a possibility of confusion. I don't really see how anyone might confuse this software with Eva Notty. |
|
I guess that's true. What I was getting at is that I've never heard of anyone getting confused, or asking that question. Have you? If you have, then it makes sense to address it. |

Perhaps the heading of Note that a google search for "notty" returns the withoutboats one as the top result. Your repo doesn't show up on the first page. If you change the search to "notty terminal", then both come up, raising the question about how the two are related. My immediate thought (for no good reason) was that perhaps your code is a binding to the withoutboats library. Then I clicked the withoutboats link (it is first) and saw that it is Affero GPL licensed, and promptly closed my browser tab and was never going to look back again. Luckily something didn't seem right, so I kept looking and realized there is no connection. |

Yeah, OK, that makes sense. Obviously to me there is a sea of difference, but if you got confused, then a pointer is in order. Thanks! |

My top result is https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/notty/notty.0.2.0/ ... guess the information bubble is real :-) |

Oh, for me, it's a lot of Eva Notty and the odd Urban Dictionary definition on DDG. On Google, withoutboats gets the little blurb on top, and the rest are definitions.net, UD, withoutboats and -- and this, number 4! To my defence, neither is allowed to store anything in the browser. Maybe this is ddg profiling me based on User-Agent... |

Ah, now you got me interested in this Eva Notty person, took a while to figure out that I had to turn "safe search" off to find her. ;) |
|
Yeah... that's the unfortunate major name clash that this library has. :D |
