ImGui is a generic term which makes googling for this library uneasy.
While we can keep the git and source code "imgui" (if desired), it would be beneficial to include a keyword or two that would uniquely identify the library. Any suggestions?

"Immie" is cute, relevant, easy to pronounce and spell, and has no significant Google hits. You asked for a keyword, but a full name is even better for actual use. "I added an Immie control" is easy to say to your coworker. "I added an ImGUI control" doesn't flow as easily when written or spoken.

Domain names are parked though.

My intuition is that I won't change the core "identifier" so we can keep the github URL and don't break code that use the ImGui:: namespace. More like adding a qualifier to the existing name for searchability and identifiability. So 'immie' is ok but it doesn't do that. I might just change my mind later and accept to rename the namespace/prefix in code but it seems a bit overkill.

e.g. of a qualifier
"friendly imgui"
(i don't have proper names in mind)

Domain names aren't an issue, I don't plan to get one.
CPP is restrictive? who knows how the library can be ported and evolve? also C++ is more something I'd like to keep low profile considering the library is rather C style even if it relies on C++ syntax.

If you want to keep the "imgui" part and you just want to add an adjective, I agree that something like:
"friendly imgui" or "easy imgui" or "quick imgui" or "compact imgui" would be OK, as I expect that users nowadays look for easy-to-use compact code with almost no dependency at all.

Another common approach would be to find something crazy and "exotic" with no meaning at all that is easy to remember, like "Nancy purple brocket's imgui" (or something like that with less words that is easier to remember).

I'd rather use the first approach.

As a side note there are already other libraries named Imgui (like this: https://github.com/AdrienHerubel/imgui, which should be a direct extrapolation of the gui included in memononen's Recast and Detour library as far as I can understand): so making this library unique is a good choice.

I think it is a bad idea to rename completely. I have no trouble finding ocornuts gui simply googling for "imgui" (first hit) the other github project with the same name was not updated in 2 years and has ridiculously less stars. keeping the name "IMGUI" and adding "Ocornut's" as a prefix unofficially in a logo or something seems less objectionable though.

i think marketing wise it would have much more impact to create a dedicated website with a more structured documentation than the one page mess of a README.md. You can conveniently use github pages for that and include whatever logos seem fit. As a starting point for newcomers such a website with a collection of code snippets and screenshots/gifcasts of the result would be more important (imho)

Alright let's try to sort that out!

I still beieve the best would be to settle on a low-key prefix or suffix to "ImGui" that would be included on the pages and various documentations/headers but not affect the namespace/code itself.
Could we focus on those?

"Ocornut's ImGui" seem to be the de-facto name..

Would rather go for Omar's ImGui instead of ocornut, but more in favor of the things above (not a fan of things named after people unless it's really low-key like one letter).

Sorry I'm not contributing much. I'll sit now and try to brainstorm some words :)

I am serious! Would rather go for something friendly or an emotion than something very techy. The good thing about "Dear ImGui" is that it's sort of light-hearted, original and doesn't steal the show from the ImGui word.
(Agree omgui would have been good, had I thought of it a year ago.)

Branding proposal !

out

The idea is to keep it rather low-key and not intrude in the code. Won't change any namespace/filename (obviously). Would add the name at the top of headers in comments and in a few locations but that'd be it. It's mostly a way to be able to recognize it with clarity when communicating.

Another one: trimgui
"trim" synonyms: reduce, decrease, cut down, cut back on, scale down, prune, etc
Idea being imgui is trimmed down/far simpler to deal with compared to Qt, GTK, etc.

If these prefixes smashed onto the front of "imgui" to make a single word are a bad idea, let me know and i'll stop :)

I'm not crazy about dear imgui, but couldn't pinpoint specifically why. I'm sure i'd get used to it though if that's what happened. I do like that it's distinct and not overly techy.
that said, if we're talking simple endearing terms on the front or back of "imgui", simply "nice imgui" or "imgui jr" is more my personal style.

The idea of keeping imgui is fine for now since this is the only game in town, but it could get ambiguous down the line if imgui as a general paradigm catches on and other popular projects spring up.

The term "PC" always annoyed me for that reason (from google):
The Historical Meaning of “PC” “PC” has several different meanings. On one extreme, PC just means “personal computer,” and smartphones and tablets are just as much PCs as laptops and desktops. On the other extreme, “PC” originally meant “IBM PC-compatible.”

The term "PC" always annoyed me for that reason (from google): The Historical Meaning of “PC” “PC” has several different meanings. On one extreme, PC just means “personal computer,” and smartphones and tablets are just as much PCs as laptops and desktops. On the other extreme, “PC” originally meant “IBM PC-compatible.”

imgui as a paradigm has caught. It's in Unity (old) and a few other librairies are using the name name, that's the whole reason for this thread in the first place.

Very true. I think a prefix/postfix is a good idea.

I was actually responding to some of the earlier comments in this thread pointing out that this project gets first place on SERPs for "imgui".
That may be true now, but in a couple or few years, who knows...

How about what I suggested "dear imgui,", what do you think.

I don't perceive it as a name. It sounds not identifying. So my gut spoke.
Maybe making it an acronym could help? DIG? (Dear Immediate GUI) DIGUI?

I reinstate that "omar's imgui" is pretty much the de-facto name already..

I've gone and went for a low-key "dear imgui" to get over with that topic.

Commits are very simple:
ocornut/imgui@e4cf44e967
ocornut/imgui@e34b4b46da

EDIT I realise many people said they don't like it, but in the absence of suggestions following the spec I'm using what I have (which I kinda like) and either way it is meant to be barely noticeable.
