From Videa to Vdea

We tried Lanami, Vdea, and AquaClash and have since sunset all three. They are no longer active products. These pages remain as a record of what we built and learned.

Vdea originally used the name Videa, combining video and idea. It explained the concept of funding video ideas, but it sat close to a very common search term. We worried about confusion, spelling and the difficulty of building a distinctive name.

We changed Videa to Vdea to make the name more distinct. That choice traded immediate explanation for a brand we hoped people could identify more clearly. It did not create an audience or solve distribution on its own.

A distinctive name still needed people to encounter it, remember it and find a useful product behind it. The rename was a positioning decision, not evidence of improved rankings or commercial success.

We have since sunset Vdea. The naming decision remains useful as a record of a trade-off we made during the experiment. The project is no longer a live invitation to fund or submit videos. My current focus is Askly, K53, De Blue and LV Prawn Lab.
