Hoarder is rebranding to Karakeep
As you might know from my previous post, Hoarder (github link) has been caught up in an ongoing trademark dispute. Since the legal process is still unresolved, I’ll have to save the full story for another time. For now, I’ve decided that the best path forward is to rebrand.
Starting today, Hoarder is rebranding to Karakeep!
The name Karakeep is inspired by the Arabic word "كراكيب" (karakeeb), a colloquial term commonly used to refer to miscellaneous clutter, odds and ends, or items that may seem disorganized but often hold personal value or hidden usefulness. It evokes the image of a messy drawer or forgotten box, full of stuff you can't quite throw away—because somehow, it matters (or more likely, because you're a hoarder!).
Over the next couple of weeks, things will start getting renamed to Karakeep (the repo, apps, extensions, etc). hoarder.app will soon also begin redirecting to our new domain: karakeep.app.
I took pride in coming up with "hoarder" as the name for the project. I've spent months searching for a different name, but nothing felt as good as hoarder was. But it's time to move on. I'm incredibly grateful for the support this community has shown throughout the whole thing. Hopefully, I can now focus my time and energy on what matters: building Karakeep.
It goes without saying, but please refrain from contacting the other party in any way, shape, or form.

What the fuck, the asshole that won the dispute had TEN downloads on Google play and launched only a few months ago

It's a better name. I have almost given up on Stash several times because it is a pain is the ass to search for it.

I can't seem to find it. I want to know what their product is.

The other app is called similarly, but with the "e" missing.
"Hoarder" but misspelled, like Grindr
It's a massive success, Google play says downloaded between 1 to 10 times worldwide

The reason that I'm pissed so much for just a name (karakeep can be found with a search engine much easier) is that I had a domain that started with "er" so it was so funny to have it installed as hoard.erXXXXXXX.com

Agreed. And bonus points for it evoking what it does in English as well (the "keep" bit). It's easy to pronounce, understandable, short enough, and has a fun etymology.

Karakeeper still works at least?

Picked up the story a while back. See, it would not do me good to have this happen to me. If I were forced to rename it, it would be the most deliberate, yet creative, slur against the other product.
