Can we stop with the overloaded names? "Mosaic" is a well-known web browser.

>> "Mosaic" is a well-known web browser.

Not really relevant anymore, though? As long is it's not called "Project: Prometheus" I think we count it as a win.


naming is hard

our original name was Frame, only to realize that frame.io existed already.

we brainstormed names for a while and had several notes full of possible names

mosaic is one which stood out to us because it not only represents artwork, but also the tiles (nodes) in the canvas come together to form your mosaic — we thought that was a fitting name


> "Mosaic" is a well-known web browser

A browser that was discontinued 30 years ago.
