That conflicts with the already existing suckless st.
Also I am suitably impressed with the perf numbers, but I also somewhat take away that I could stick with (at least) alacritty or ghostty and not be much slower.
I know, but there aren't that many two-letter abbreviations!
Does "shitty" really need a default abbreviation, let alone a 2 letter one? It's already a quite short dictionary word which is easy to type and recognize.
You can branch out to different alphabets. Embrace unicode.
on one hand I wanna say you shouldn't make conflicting names
on the other hand what gives them the right to st but not you?

Distributions. They'll probably rename one or the other so that they can be installed in parallel.
st both gains more from the abbreviation plus put it into use first and even then I'm not sure it really needs to be 2 letter either.
Let the best tool win.
