Who named this, are the devs welsh?
It can be a bit of a bugbear of mine, when people who’ve never been to wales and certainly don’t siarad cymraeg appropriate welsh words as names, such as the sickmaking LA lifestyle brand Hiraeth. But then again the welsh did give the world the word penguin.
Shwmae, Sarah ydw i. I co-founded the Cwtch project, and yes I was born in Wales, lived there for 20+ years, and as a result learned Welsh in school; and while I no longer live there, I still consider myself, at least in part, Welsh.
Dai iawn…
I’ve often wondered how the rest of the world will pronounce Cwtch and Blodeuwedd Labs
I used to work at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Web Solutions Ltd, and I gotta admit we used to have a hell of a time.

"Cwotch" and "Bloodwed"
yes they are
Are they worried that their project is going to be called "cooch"? It seems likely to severely inhibit uptake.
it's pronounced more like "cutch" (well, for me it is anyway) :))
if the name bothers, it can be forked. looking forward to "yCont" messenger!
