Splitting out of #568, which had a lot of discussion on a project slogan. Right now the Yeoman slogan on https://yeoman.io is:

The web's scaffolding tool for modern webapps

Which, per yeoman/yeoman#1779, isn't really accurate anymore. We see Yeoman as more of a classic, stable project. See also mochajs/mocha#5065 for discussion about Mocha's slogan.

Proposal: how about we take a page from Mocha's book with something like...

The classic, friendly tool for scaffolding web apps.

JHipster generates full stack applications.
Backend side: SpringBoot/Quarkus/.Net/Node (Nest)
Frontend side: Angular/React/Vue/Svelte

The classic, friendly tool for scaffolding web apps.

This looks too limited.
In issues I see Microsoft generators. I don't know what it generates but doesn't look web apps.
So I think something like templating system is more accurate.

The classic, powerful templating system.

The classic, friendly tool for scaffolding web apps.

I like it, but I assume that today is more popular for non-web apps like plugins, etc.. so I was doing some brainstorming with ChatGPT and here are some ideas:

  • The classic, versatile scaffolding tool for modern projects.
  • The timeless tool for crafting robust project templates.
  • Your trusted companion for project scaffolding.
  • Your all-in-one templating solution for any development project.
  • The friendly, flexible tool for scaffolding your next big idea.
  • The comprehensive tool for generating projects of any scale.
  • Classic scaffolding, built to last.

ACK on it not just being for web. 👍

Thinking on what we're trying to convey, the phrases & words I find most compelling have kind of boiled to:

  • Definition: explaining that Yeoman is a templating generator and runner
  • Stature: that Yeoman is stable and has been around for a long time
  • Usefulness: that Yeoman can make virtually any template, including web and non-web
  • Vibes: it's fun! top hats! friendly team! you trust us!

Collecting the common phrases words into those categories:

  • Definition: companion; scaffolding / scaffolding tool / tool for scaffolding / tool; templating
  • Stature: built to last; classic; timeless; trusted
  • Usefulness: all-in-one; any scale; comprehensive; flexible; modern; robust
  • Vibes: fun; friendly; your next big idea

Trying out a few combos of all 4:

  • Robust all-in-one templates for projects of any scale
  • The classic, comprehensive scaffolding tool for your next big idea
  • The fun, friendly, trusted templating tool

(I also like alliteration 🙂 )
