Myrtil, the name of our requirements management tool, was chosen for its association with the Meadow brown butterfly (Maniola jurtina). In French, this butterfly is called "Myrtil". Just as the butterfly is known for its graceful, seemingly effortless flight, our tool is designed to be lightweight and agile. It avoids the heavy, cumbersome features of traditional requirements management software, allowing users to navigate their projects with ease and efficiency. 🦋
The name Myrtil also has a clever linguistic twist. The phrase "Myrtil is a lightweight requirements management tool" is nearly a recursive acronym, similar to how GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix."
