  1. @meyerweb even better — perhaps the (subconscious) genius of it! Knowing (feeling?) that undohtml did not meaningfully convey its actual usefulness, then naturally (re)naming even the idea to something shorter, more memorable & easily (re)teachable, thus actually helping more people.

  2. @meyerweb the latter taught me a lot about the value of better naming.

    * undohtml.css — no one remembers (tantek.com/log/2004/09.html#d06t2354 & your follow-up https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss/)
    * reset.css — everyone uses (http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/18/reset-reasoning/ ~3 years later too!)

    Name things (tools especially) by value/function to the user, rather than literal plumbing functionality.

    Hey at least our permalink slugs have improved. :)
