Congrats and as a german i frequently say "ding"
So, nice name!
I watch a german streamer a lot who says “dingsbooms” to mean “a thing i cant remember the name of right now”. It always makes me laugh
there is also "dingensbummens", a thingy, or whatchamacallit
There’s a self-hosted bookmark manager named linkding, and that’s how I found out “ding” means “thing” in German.
The naming and at the beginning the design as well were heavily inspired by the below mentioned linkding. The name is quite easy to remember and unique which is good for search results.
