I keep going back and forth on this: should the name of this app be MicroPublisher or Micropublisher?
The Case for Uppercase
I originally called the app capital-p MicroPublisher, because I’m a Pascal Case kind of person. As a Swift programmer, this is the variable name I would give for the app.
Additionally, the word “Publish” is a bit easier to parse at a glance which could make it ever so slightly more recognizable in a list of apps or search results.
The Case for Lowercase
Yet I can’t escape the fact that the web standard is called Micropub, with a lowercase ‘p’. I always notice when people mess up the arbitrary capitalization of words like Xcode, iPhone, and macOS. Is naming the app MicroPublisher akin to naming an Xcode extension “xCoder”?
I realize that I’m surely overthinking it. Which is why I’m going ahead with my preferred name: MicroPublisher. But let the record show that the name wasn’t chosen without consideration.
