Hello!

Please choose a different name in order to avoid potential confusion with Solaris (formerly Polaris).

Thanks,

Novao Technologies.

What is Solaris(Polaris)?

Solaris (Formerly Polaris) is an open learn-to-code community based on the Scratch programming language. Solaris was founded to create a platform for users who require more out of scratch that uses Extensions to provide an- extensive -amount of new features to the language. You can learn more about Solaris (formerly Polaris) at https://github.com/NovaoTech/Solaris/

ok but Solaris isn’t Polaris now. so,no problem

Except for people might get confused by the name (as seen below and in other places). If it is at all possible, can you change your name/brand?

(Side note from me personally, I’d love to help out with that if you’d agree.)

@polaris May 14, 2022, 2:12 AM

ok, we'll consider

@novaotech May 14, 2022, 2:41 AM

Thank you. You are by no means obligated to rebrand, we just think it would be the best for both of our brands.

you can’t just tell someone to change their name because it’s similar. wtf

Hello! Because we’ve previously (in the recent past) used the name Polaris before SpaceX’s Polaris Space Program, we thought it would be best for both brands if a different name is used. Additionally, this isn’t your issue to debate, but rather the person(s)’s behind the Polaris news organization. As stated in the thread above, the Polaris news org is not required/being told by us to rebrand, we are just recommending it.
