Why would you call a project management thing (or whatever this is) "manuscript"? Whatever it prints, definitely wasn't written by hand.


We were hoping to capture the feeling of crafting something, rather than racing to tick-off to-do lists items. We wrote a little about why we think that's important: https://medium.com/make-better-software/software-matters-in-...


They're not great with naming. [It is one of the two or three hard things to do in computering!]

Their previous project is named [Glitch](https://glitch.com/) for example.

And Manuscript is just FogBugz anyways, tho I've at least grown used to the original name.


And said previous project is still in Beta and on it's third name already :)

HyperDev -> Gomix -> Glitch

(HyperDev I guess is a play on HyperCard, Gomix is "go mix!" since they allow you to remix other people's apps, Glitch is ???)

That said, Glitch is pretty neat for small apps or demos, I just wish it would support more languages.


I love the name Glitch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


It's cute for sure. But it also carries 'connotations' of (software) bugs, malfunctions, errors – and by 'carry' I mean that's the standard meaning of the term!


Me too!
