Some play on words for polytheism and dagger? or being multi-lingual

I personally like the word Nebula.

dli since it's a dagger cli 🤣

Plugger? for plugins

"dang" because it's lang with a dagger "d", dang is the HN admin, and it would generally be funny for you to have to refer to the "dang release" all the time

stray spear

rogue because it goes with cloak and dagger.

dat . It's just fun to say run dat.
I'm sure chatgpt could come up with a great acrostic like dagger's awesome tool or something much better 🙂

Just to be clear, this is not for the final brand name of the feature or tool, just an internal codename for the project itself. So it doesn't have necessarily to match the functionality.

I don’t know if this is the vibe you’re going for, but I’ve found this list of US Presidential Pets to be a deep well of codenames: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_pets?wprov=sfti1

How about Gaia (the Earth/Mother) as the base which has the roots to the other cross-language extensions. Furthermore to some degree the name can be associated to renewal as well 😀

I think that Electric would fit this well. It's meant to emphasize the Engine connection to humans, APIs & the initial idea of "an Engine from the future and no doors".

Hi everyone, we are going with Project Zenith, proposed by @kind plover. Thank you for all the suggestions!

Project Zenith is an experimental project to reinvent the Dagger user experience around the CLI, to make it more approachable.

The Zenith is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord melee weapon crafted using a variety of swords obtained throughout the game's progression. When swung, the sword sprites of its component swords fly towards enemies within a 20-tile radius of the cursor (regardless of where the cursor is on the screen), and circle back in quick, frenzied arcs. They pass t...
