Why are all of the comments about the name? The author literally said this is a toy project for educational purposes... There are thousands of projects on github. This isn't even the only other project named "vanta" on github (I just checked and there is an animation library for javascript called vanta). So, seriously, who cares?
If OP was an actual company, that would be different. But this is quite literally a toy project.
Anyway, congrats OP! Your project looks really cool.
Most probably those other projects haven't been at #1 on HN or similar sites for long.
I agree that having discussion get consumed by the name is unfortunate and off-topic. It's also predictable, alas (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44161041) but we have various tricks to try to dampen it.
Yeah, it's like if one writes a tiny calculator and names it Disney to learn how to program in Delphi, it's a learning exercise with 0 commercial intent so who cares. But for those who care about the name vanta, get the G from Go and rename it to Ganta, problem solved :-)
with the added benefit that the software family could be extended in the future with other learning exercises such as a Rust forum engine named Ranta
I agree. I was trying to use Vanta’s trust management platform to prepare for an audit but instead downloaded Vanta, the toy version of Wireshark. It's very easy to mix up 400 lines of go code on github with the security platform on vanta.com.
