Why We're Called Chartcastr (Not Chartcaster)
The story behind the Chartcastr name — why we dropped the "e" and what it means for automated chart delivery to Slack and Teams.
The Name Behind the Product
People sometimes search for Chartcaster when looking for us. It makes total sense — "chart" + "caster" is the natural spelling. But we went with Chartcastr deliberately.
Chart + Cast = Chartcastr
The name captures exactly what the product does:
- Chart — we generate beautiful visualisations from your spreadsheet and database data
- Cast — we broadcast those charts directly to where your team works: Slack channels, Teams chats, and email inboxes
Drop the "e", and you get a name that's quicker to type, easier to spot in a URL, and stands out from the crowd.
A Naming Tradition
We're in good company. Some of the most recognisable brands in tech made the same choice:
- Flickr (not Flicker)
- Tumblr (not Tumbler)
- Scribd (not Scribed)
- Grindr (not Grinder)
The dropped vowel signals something modern, digital-native, and intentional.
