Hacker News Reader

AI and bots are all the rage right now. The word "buddy" is associated with all sorts of malware [0]. I'd say postcardbot is a great name, particularly as the Facebook Messenger implementation actually is a bot.

I've read and analyzed a large number of stories on IndieHackers and not a single one mentioned the name being an issue, or something they wished they had changed.

There probably are a few stories out there of companies rebranding successfully and meaningfully, but it doesn't seem to matter that much in the general case.

I can think of many startups with horrible names. A decent chunk of the failed.

Good tip! That could be because I'm a bare metal tech geek :p
