This is an interesting project but a poorly chosen name because it can easily be considered trademark infringement for being confusingly-similar to "Redis", especially since it's a self-admitted clone. I would change it now before you are forced to change your name and you lose time confusing people and wasting time renaming everything.

i think “$proj - implements the redis protocol” are going to be as ubiquitous as the things which claim to be “S3 compatible”

idk if redis labs (the organization aka big bad) are going to patent the “protocol” to disallow clones (or they’d be going after valkey first)
