Yes, I regret not having received such advice earlier. Moreover, when I search for "amarkdown" on Google, it thinks I've made a typo and asks if I meant to search for "markdown." Using a name without any bias is also very favorable for search engines.

But I have already invested too much effort into the name "amarkdown," including on Twitter (X), YouTube, and various other accounts.

I should add by the way that I do like what you’re doing with widgets, and I think it’s a direction other CMS platforms—particularly, Ghost—should move towards.
