RFD #2 - Renaming DevPod

[skevetter]

Following up on RFD #1 - DevPod Branding and Roadmap, I want to share an update on where things are headed.

Background

When I started this fork, it was a personal project to keep devcontainer tooling alive after loft-sh shifted their focus to vcluster. Since then, this fork has grown into something I did not anticipate: an actively maintained product with real community engagement, merged contributions, and a direction of its own. The work that has gone into this fork is significant and has since added new features, bug fixes, dependency updates, CI improvements, representing a measurable divergence from the original DevPod.

Despite all of this, the "DevPod" name continues to point developers toward the upstream repository, which has seen no recent activity or public statements about its future. This creates confusion and limits the visibility of the work happening here.

What is Changing

I have decided that I will be rebranding this project under a different name to get better visibility on this fork. There are still some outstanding work that will happen prior to this shift, but I wanted to share that this change is coming. I fully expect there to be some transition pains during this shift: some links will break, etc.

If you have ideas for the new name, I am open to hear them.

I will share more details as the transition plan solidifies. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, filed issues, or simply used this tool. This project exists because of this community, and I want the next chapter to reflect that.
