# Scaffold

Quick note: Consider a total rebrand for v4, as "Scaffold" sounds a bit temporary, and is overused in the space.

Considering

  • Scaffold v3.3 <-- where we are now
  • Scaffold v3.4 <-- what we're working on
  • Scaffold v3.5 <-- untangles the input and out graphs
  • Scaffold v4.0 <-- rebrand with a better name

How about:

Kiln

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes. Kilns have been used for millennia to turn objects made from clay into pottery, tiles, and bricks. In a similar way, Scaffold Kiln transforms raw data into refined insights.

It's a decent alogory and suits the purpose the library serves. Plus, it's a strong, memorable name that stands out in the data processing space.
