Ability to rename "Websites"

manu

most of the things we are hosting can be called as applications. We should ideally be calling them as containers or applications / apps or a more common umbrella word!

the word "website" is too limiting for the things enhance is already supporting!

please share your suggestions.

Its chosen because "container" will confuse the average person. Its logical to us and after all its a docker container... However, when the average person logs in and they see "websites" they immediately think "ahh yes my website" instead of "what is this super technical nerd word 'container'?????"

Usually a good approach to UX is "the user is an idiot" That covers the people who shutdown when they see a "technical" scary word like "container" or "application" and think app on their phone.

I have had this conversation with Adam in the past and he said they would consider allowing custom terms in the future.

MediaLabz "In the future" is a long time from my experience with Enhance! Its worth the wait though.

@JohnB I would like to differ in this. The reason why it should be called “container” is because you can put multiple “websites” in it. Map domains / sub domains to it. You cannot do that to a “website”. The word “container” is so common. It’s literally in everyone’s kitchen.

The word “website” is in fact misguiding in the very sense.
