Description

`Given` that the App Naming Guidelines: _`"Name should not begin with 'GitHub' or 'Gist'"`_:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/194400/36387730-aa744d4e-1591-11e8-85c6-e0ccbab8505a.png)
(_we **cannot** simply call our App "GitHub Issue Backup"_)

`We need` to come up with a name that:
+ [ ] **describes _exactly_ what** the **App _does_.** (_no "`{{Color || Adjective}} ++ {{Anmial}}` names!!_)
+ [ ] we can get a **Domain Name** for (_regardless of the TLD for now_)
+ [ ] we can get a "**short url**" for.
+ [ ] we can get **good SEO** for. (_i.e. don't try to use a word or words that are widely used!_)

> e.g: if the Project/App was called **G**it **I**ssue **B**ack**U**p (["GIBU"](https://domainr.com/ibu.com?q=gibu)) we would use a short url like: `gibu.io/dwhq321` would link to https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/321
(_we would need to define an algorithm for generating the "alpha" part of the `/path`
in this case I've used the "first two chars of `:owner`" ++ "first two chars of `:repo`"_ ... i.e. `dw+hq`
_where there is a conflict we try more chars from `:owner` or `:repo` until it's **unique**_ ...)

`So that` we can great service for the community!

Naming things is "_hard_" so delegating to our resident "names" person: @iteles

We need a few _words_ that _describe_ the service we are creating ...
+ Issues
+ Backup
+ Backlog
+ Accountability
+ Log
+ History
+ Version
+ Revision
+ Rollback
+ "Safe"
+ Timetravel 😉
