Naming

Branding as a proper noun is referred to as "Boxo" with a capital B.

Why is this named "Boxo"?

  1. "boxo" is physical toolbox vendor. "boxo" the project is intended to be a toolbox of modules, tools, and examples that can aid one in their go-based IPFS implementation.
  2. Similarity between the "box" and IPFS's "cube" shape.
  3. Audible resonance with "kubo", which is the archeologically-rich soil from which "boxo" has sprouted from and "kubo" is at least currently one of the significant consumers of "boxo".
  4. "boxo" is short.

See https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/215 for more of the history.
