The "codename" (or "working title") for this project is "ATM" (stands for "Actionable Timely Metrics")

If we end up investing time/effort into this project it will not be to only release Open Source code;
We need to think through how to make it a sustainable business that has real customers, revenue and profit.

To that end, I've opened two "product roadmap" related issues:

If you are curious what are options are for building profitable software products, read those two issues.
(they might help contextualise what we need for a project/product name)

What we ultimately need is name for which the .com is available.
I've tried many combinations/permutations including "ATM" and "OMTM"
and not come up with anything good ... 😕

I'm not going to spend any more time on this now because I feel that building the product is more important than naming it. But I wanted to open this issue so that it's captured somewhere,
and if anyone else has thoughts (or time to play around with names), please share!! ✨

This is an example of why Portuguese is [often] a more expressive language than English
(despite what Shakespeare may have lead you to believe...)

This translation does not do the word justice.
A more complete translation would be "they love it".
And that in a nutshell is what we want for all the products we build;
we want people using the product to love it.

adoram.com is currently just a "re-direct to holding page".
If we were to use this name for our integrated "metrics & feedback" product
(see: dwyl/feedback#96 & dwyl/product-roadmap#7)
besides the obvious benefit of appearing first in any alphabetical listing.
we would have a name that means [they] "love it".
which is more emotive than "MixPanel" or "Segment.io" which just sound meh.
