The name is cool, but searchability is terrible.

This will probably be received with defense, as I have seen a lot people demonstrating liking the name of the crate (and its subprojects), but iroh is a terrible name for online searchability, because the name competes with something far, far more popular. Difficult for finding blogs about it, tutorials about it, discussions about it, in whatever social media or forum. It is like trying to find about a niche thing in the ocean of content about an already established same-name subject.

lol fair. golang had a similar problem, and got around it by using golang instead of just go. Maybe we should be doing the same? Looking at our plausible analytics for iroh.computer, people search:

• iroh
• iroh p2p
• iroh computer
• iroh rust

in that order. So while we aren't going to change the name, maybe we can come up with a disambiguating search term to promote searchability

That would be great. I hope you guys did not take my comment as negative. It is easy to find the official documentation/blog/website just search "iroh rust", but to find active (recent) discussions/posts about it on social media and forums, it is like I said, a bit of a struggle. I know that the content is there, but it takes some effort that I believe could be circumvented some disambiguating.
