Package naming

[feledori]

I follow this project now quite a while and I noticed the frequent package name changes/inconsistencies. From jotai to jotai/package to jotai-package. Is there a specific reasoning behind the naming? Why not follow other tools with jotai for the core and @jotai/package for associated packages.

Sorry for the confusion. Toward v2, We are moving to minimal core + many add-on packages style for ecosystem. The goal is to invite more package maintainers. Originally, we hoped to use @jotai/foo, but this namespace is already taken. So, we go for jotai-foo, but as you guess this causes naming conflicts. We will see. At least, the current state is somewhat consistent.

Nothing to apologise for. But thanks for letting me know. Have you tried getting in contact with the other person owning the namespace?

[dai-shi]

Yeah, we sent an email before, but no response.

Ahh man that sucks... Maybe npm can do something about it, but probably not. And what a coincidence that someone else used jotai. Wouldn't call jotai a standard name.

Seems like it's Finnish dialect or something. btw, valtio is also from Finnish.
