From 87d0251e4f77760303a337675c818978c8acf8e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Valladares Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:39:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(demo):=20name=20stays=20VESTIGE=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20Sam's=20call?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sam chose to keep Vestige over Postdict: it sounds natural, it's the live + loved product (561 stars, repo, npm packages), costs zero to keep, and "vestige = a trace of what remains from the past" is backward-looking = on-thesis. The category lives in the tagline ("the first memory that finds the cause, not the lookalike"), not the name. Reverted the pitch to "I created Vestige from my tiny Chicago apartment", kept the "our"->"my" solo-founder fix.
