Sounds like they just changing the name.

That will be odd since it got renamed/rebranded just recently.

ggurface Oct 9, 2023 View on HN

I didn't know there was a rename. Hopefully they can keep up calling out the old name to let people know!

Anyone know why the name was changed? Trademark issues or something like that?

I'd recommend a name change, very confusing...
