The product direction is useful, especially if you keep pushing it beyond a basic HTML/CSS/JS editor and more toward an AI-assisted front-end workspace.
The biggest issue I see is not the editor. It is recall and trust.
“Pterocos” is hard to spell and the .eu.org domain makes it feel more like a temporary project than a serious developer tool. For devtools, that matters because people usually don’t adopt immediately. They remember it later when they need it.
If you want this to become more than a free playground, I’d seriously consider a cleaner name and .com. Something like Xevoa.com would fit the AI builder/editor direction much better and would be easier to remember, type, and share.
Thanks for your feedback! and we will keep what you did suggest in mind
Makes sense.
I’d pressure-test it sooner rather than later.
If this stays a free playground, Pterocos is fine.
But if you’re trying to build a serious AI-assisted front-end workspace, the name and domain will start affecting trust before the editor even gets tested.
That’s where Xevoa fits better.
It sounds more like a real devtool company than a temporary side project.
Hello, Thanks! and There is no plans to make it paid
Makes sense. If it stays free and community-focused, then keeping the current name is understandable.
The .com/name upgrade only really matters if you later decide to turn it into a serious product or devtool company.
Good luck with the build.
Thanks!
One practical thought.
Since you are keeping it free, I would not force a full naming/domain change right now.
But if you still want the project to feel more serious and easier to remember, I can do a quick naming/positioning mini-audit for Pterocos: current name risk, domain perception, recall issue, devtool trust, and what direction would make it feel less like a temporary playground.
Not a long consulting thing. Just a sharp written breakdown you can use if you ever decide to make the project more public or product-like.
I’m doing a few lighter ones at $49 while refining the format.

Ok
Sounds good.
If you ever decide to make Pterocos more public or product-like, the naming/domain perception will matter more then.
For now, since you’re keeping it free, I’d just focus on the build.
Alright :)
