Why did you call it Avo? I'm curious because I know of at least 4 SaaS companies called Avo.

The original name was project Avocado, but I didn't find any good domain names and social media handles. I agree the naming could have been better.

I like it. Its better than naming it something with "rails" embedded like "trailsblazer".

Add an accent and you get grandparent (avó)

I have a hard time with english (mostly US) speaking people that pronounce it "aivo". It's actually like "avocado" "avo".

The creator of GIF file format spent years trying to get people to pronounce it JIF. You know, just saying... It didn't work.

Besides, EEEY-vo is more fun to say than UH-vo.

Haha. Your statement is 100% correct!

I was hopping it was Aussie slang... Like Build a rails app in one avo..
