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’d see it in swift and then being called "Swedish" for giggles.

Naming is famously difficult in this world!
