Project name issues

[rumkin]

It hard to search anything by name angular-light because of mess of angular / angular-light search output.

The second reason is difference between projects. Yes, it has same core basics but there is a tones of differences. I've spent a week to start using alight.

The third reason is that now angular has two absolutely different versions and it will be hard to explain which one is a base for alight.

For example vue.js use MVVM too and it's quite popular. So I think that MVVM doesn't need extra highlighting or explanation.

I believe that Angle.js is a good name for Angular successor.

Someone proposes name "alight"

I also prefer the name "alight" to differ from angular.js.
Maybe the docs should contain some pages for people which used angular.js before with some common use cases and differences. It took me around four hours to get my first application running, so i am wondering why it took a week for you.

In a world dominated by jQuery MVVM is not really popular, so it should be explained. :-)
As far as i understand lega911, alight focuses on people which are still using jQuery.

As far as i understand lega911, alight focuses on people which are still using jQuery.

First targets are people who have tried Angular.js and think it's too heavy (or too buggy).
Also alight is good for simple tasks too, so jQuery devs are welcome.

Look at fresh example in jQuery: https://jsfiddle.net/jane_mel/oshgnr30/6/
which I transformed to alight: http://jsfiddle.net/lega911/tqz4z4tj/

@dev-rke I'm talking about development of real application not a todo list or hello world. I added routing, i18n and custom directives which is required for real development. Still this time I've found a lot of things that differs from angular. That's why it took a week. And that's why I think that angular in the name can discourage newcomers.

@rumkin: Ok, now i understand. I also had to do that in my current project and it took around 8 weeks. ;-)
But to learn the key concepts of alight it took me only one day to produce my first small application.
And this is what i am talking about: it is very simple to use and very efficient.
Currently i have to render around 3000 products in a product filter application (multiple relations of products to categories, displaying only categories which have products left with an counter of available products in it, custom sorting mechanism and free text search).
A collegue of me tried around one hour by copying several examples together and then he had his first time logging application. Developing with alight is definitively faster than writing code using jQuery or angular js. :-)

But i agree, a name without "angular" would improve seo visibility. ;-)
