At this stage, that could be classified as a bug I think 😀

According to the branding document, kiwix-desktop should be exposed as Kiwix.
End user should never see kiwix-desktop except in a link to the repository.

That means renaming the App so the Title bar says Kiwix, renaming the binaries (Kiwix[.exe]) and I believe the Archive names but I'm not clear on what it should actually be: Kiwix Windows_x64_2.4.0.zip ?? (see kiwix/overview#106 as well)

Side question for @kelson42 and @Popolechien. Are you OK with having both Kiwix Windows (ie Kiwix + Platform) and Kiwix Hotspot (ie. a Kiwix product) ?

Yes to the first question (Kiwix-desktop -> Kiwix), but I am not sure I understand the other tbh. Shouldn't it be Kiwix for Windows ?

That was not a question 😉

That's the question. The branding doc says that all readers are Kiwix from their own perspective, and there is no debate AFAIK.
To the outside world though, we need to distinguish the different products and the doc says we should have

  • Kiwix Windows
  • Kiwix Linux
  • Kiwix Android
  • Kiwix Hotspot

This is only marginally relevant to this ticket as it would only apply to the packaging (the archive) to download kiwix-desktop and that happens on kiwix-build but as I wrote, we might want to consider updating the branding doc as I find it odd to have both Kiwix {Platform} and Kiwix Hotspot using the same pattern. Your suggestion makes sense (Kiwix for {Platform}).

Looks like we're all in agreement then:

  • Kiwix-desktop displayed as Kiwix
  • Tweak product list with for (e.g. Kiwix for Windows, except the Kiwix Hotspot, which is a different product approach)
  • Repositories remain as-is.
