"Yarr" name already used by other project.[0]

There are so many projects out there, it's hard to avoid naming collisions. I don't think a project with 10 stars can lay exclusive claim to a four letter name.

There are already many RSS readers with this name:

https://github.com/channikhabra/yarr

https://fossdroid.com/a/yarr.html

etc. The name sounded familiar (I think I used one in the past) so I googled and I haven't found it, but I did find many others.

The clue is in the “ya” ... “yet another”
