Why not?


Different audiences, I guess. I know lots of people _only_ use dedicated apps. For me, the friction of needing to search an app store, then download in order to play, is too much. I'd rather click/tap a link and be able to start playing.


Fortunately, Flutter provides this opportunity. Maybe I'll make a web version later


In no way did I put any bad meaning in the the name


The name Pegma is a play on words that combines: "peg" (peg, token) is the main element of the game and "theorema", which is associated with mathematical rigor and logic


Yes, the intent is very clear.

EDIT: It seems based on other comments you are genuinely unaware of how it sounds, which is totally fine - I feel someone should let you know it sounds like "peg me" or "smegma", which uh... well, ask an LLM what they mean, I suppose. I don't particularly want that in my HN comment history. :D


Thanks for the explanation

Why?


It reads like a portmanteau of pegging and smegma. Hope that helps, although I'm afraid it will do the opposite.


For me it's also that it works as a joke setup, just like "ligma" or "updog".


There's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)


Oh, I didn't know


There's also smegma, which is not a whole lot better.


It appears that every short word means something obscene in some language.

Advice would then be to avoid short names for products altogether.

Mitsubishi renamed the Pajero in Spain, because "pajero" means "wanker".


Honda Jazz was first called Fitta which is cunt in Swedish.


I agree. I wanted to add something short and creative


And what other platform should I add? The application is available in RuStore https://www.rustore.ru/catalog/app/com.khlebobul.pegma


Fdroid


I will think about it


Crazy you didn't even thought of it


ok


I haven't published the web version of the app yet, maybe I will in the future


Your description above says it's a supported platform FYI


Sorry, my bad
