    Icon14 After the Deadline to be renamed to SpellPress..?

    Check the following links for reference:

    I asked Raphael over twitter and he said it would be most probably renamed, and by the commits happening, I think it is pretty obvious now. Also, SpellPress dot com/net/org have been bought by Matt.

    What are your thoughts on the new name?

    The name makes it way more obvious what it is now.

    That makes complete sense. What doesn't make sense, is that it wasn't called that in the first place.

    It makes more sense, but it lacks style. After the Deadline was catchy.

    It was called After the Deadline before Automattic bought it. There's no accounting for individual creativity.

    I couldn't figure out why it was called After the Deadline until I looked it up on their FAQ page (last item). Seems like it was inspired by a New York Times blog with a similar name. I agree with Justin that it was catchy anyway.

    I wouldn't mind a name change but "SpellPress" doesn't really encompass all AtD can do which doesn't just include spelling, but grammar and style as well. I can't think of any better alternatives that end in "Press" though, which seems to be the main requirement.

    I'm all for a name change, but I really dislike "SpellPress"

    SaveYourAssPress is probably out...

    DeadlinePress (DeadPress?) or ATDPress?
