matrix-org
Consider a less confusing package name
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The name 'matrix-widget-api' causes the package to frequently get confused with the The Widget API when talking to people about widgets
Describe the solution you'd like Something like matrix-widget-sdk?
Describe alternatives you've considered Unsure
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
(loose) rationale for naming: "SDK" implies everything is built in for you to make a widget, but it also has a client surface to it which makes it more like a library. "matrix-widget-lib" was awkward to type, so picked "matrix-widget-api".
If we do update the name of this package, the following will also need to be updated:
- Element Web + React SDK
- Example sticker picker widget
- Pre-refactoring spec & guides (they're still referenced today)
- ... other things I forgot, but probably the downstream consumers of this outside of Element.
