When I saw Loki as the name, I instantly thought of Grafana Loki for logging. I click on the GitHub and get Libr-AI and OpenFactVerification.

I am not commenting on the actual software and I know names are hard and often overlap, but with something as popular as Loki already used for logging I think it might get confusing.

Hi siffland! Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern about the potential confusion given the popularity of Grafana Loki in the logging space. When naming our project, we sought a name that encapsulates our goal of combating misinformation. We chose Loki, inspired by the Norse god often associated with stories and trickery, to symbolize our commitment to unveiling the truth hidden within nonfactual information.

When we named our project, we were unaware of the overlap with Grafana Loki. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention! I will discuss this issue with my team in the next meeting, and figure out if there is a better way of solving this. If you have any suggestions or thoughts on how we can better differentiate our project, we would love to hear them.

Thank you again for your valuable input!
