Date
May 2019
Goal
Create a naming convention for platformOS tools, directory structure, models, and forms.
Method
A questionnaire with quantitative and qualitative items. 21 participants shared their thoughts and provided feedback related to problematic items with explanations and suggestions.
Results
We wanted to find better names for two key items marketplace-kit
and marketplace builder
and four other items that are important in the development process and have caused confusion before.
Related to the renaming of marketplace-kit
users found it important that the new name should refer to the brand, explain what it is, and make it simple and quick to type.
Results in order: 1. pos 2. pos-cli 3. Pos-kit
SELECTED: marketplace-kit
→ pos-cli
Users imagined that the new name of the marketplace_builder
should follow how other frameworks name their structure. It should also be intuitive and quick to type.
Results in order: 1. app 2. pos-instance 3. instance / pos-build
