A whole blog post that could be written about naming. I really enjoy it even though it’s a very difficult challenge! Some of the bundle ids are still my original bad names. 😅 Audiogrammy -> EQer DupeC -> Ditto Ejector -> Spring Clean -> Driveaway NotificationHub -> Octoping USB Atlas -> Hubble

I bought them all 🫣

Hopefully you took advantage of the bundles!!! And thank you

I did!
