Stefan Post kindly asked me yesterday to rename AutoRaise to avoid a name clash with his Autoraise.
This auto raise paradigm seems to be a very crowded space as I'm also learning about yet other dedicated software like Amethyst and Yabai.
Stefan's AutoRaise was first brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago through a Reddit comment to my FinderFix announcement. As stated in my introduction, I took the name and inspiration of mine from the discontinued Zooom/2 Auto Raise feature of which I owned a copy. This feature had grown on me, so when the software publisher closed its Web site I decided to write my own clean-room implementation in a modern Swift codebase, extending it with a powerful new workflow dubbed "Extending the Desktop" by one of its first private beta testers.
As with most of my software it started as a small utility that I used for my own needs, often for years, before even considering opening them to other users. I have a dozen more of these applications still waiting to be revealed to a larger public. For more context about my credo, please refer to this discussion I started on HN a few weeks ago.
My current implementation, in its first public release, is a precision work for minute control over window focus, not a holdall bag of features. I'm aware that it still lacks the ability to focus without raising but that's already on my radar (see #6 and #3).
Being in early public beta, I'm perfectly willing to rename it as it still can be done without much inconvenience. I however do not want this renaming to come as a surprise to the many enthusiastic users who downloaded the first public beta release and would like to involve them in finding a new name respecting its vocation. I'd be grateful if you could take a minute to answer this poll and/or write a comment adding the name you find would be more adequate.
This thread and poll will also give other developers the opportunity to claim that name before I get to adopt it.
Thank you very much for your time and loyalty.
