    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.

        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.
