Problem or Use Case

This isn’t really a feature request or a bug but I think it’s worth maybe clearing up some confusion regarding SpoolBuddy and the existing iOS/macos app Spool Buddy. The two things perform an identical role and have a near identical name so it’s difficult to know if the two projects are affiliated. If you’re not affiliated with the Spool Buddy app, it might be wise to change the name of your SpoolBuddy hardware projects to avoid confusion for people googling SpoolBuddy after seeing it referenced in the Bambuddy settings menu.

Proposed Solution

Change the name of SpoolBuddy or at least make it clear in the Bambuddy settings menu that SpoolBuddy and Spool Buddy are two separate unaffiliated solutions to avoid confusion for new users first learning about the existence of SpoolBuddy from the Bambuddy settings menu.

Alternatives Considered

Spend 15 minutes googling spool buddy before you realise SpoolBuddy and Spool Buddy are two different things.

Never saw that before. Thanks for letting me know.

The docs are showing a large annoucement with image. This should indicate cleary what it's all about.
