Name squatting on pub.dev

Hi there,

I'm the author of Kreuzberg.

I am working on our v5.0.0 - doing rc.* dry runs. I have been working for a while now on adding Dart support - and Android / iOS natives. I was publishing rc.1 on the CLI and discovered that yesterday someone published a fork and squatted the pub.dev/kreuzberg namespace. Maybe he didn't have ill intents, just wanted this package and was obtuse. I dunno, but I gotta say this is pretty infuriating (felt like a blow). He didn't open an issue or ask for permission, he just forked and did this.

What can I do? I sent an email to support@pub.dev. But I am afraid this will kill our velocity and release planning. Please advise.

P.S. support welcome.

Edit:

  1. This person has done it to another package of ours. He also opened a PR trying to add it a git submodule in our repo. That was his communication: https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/html-to-markdown/pull/349

  2. I got an email from pub.dev - they thumb stoned Kreuzberg for now. TBD.

Hi there,

Need some recommendations.

Currently listening to the new Path of Dragons volume 4. After this I will be out and need some more recommendation.

Here are series I like:

  • Defiance of the Fall
  • Dungeon Crawler Carl
  • Cradle
  • Elydes
  • The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound
  • Bog Standard Isekai
  • The Good Guys
  • Book of the Dead
  • Mother of Learning
  • Path of Dragons
  • A Soldier's Life
  • Ironbound
  • The Perfect Run

Series I DNFed in the middle:

  • The Primal Hunter (DNF book 5)
  • Beward of Chicken (DNF book 4)
  • Victor of Tucson (DNF Book 3)
  • Mark of the Fool (DNF Book 9)
  • Return of the Runebound Professor (DNF Book 3)
  • The Last Horizon (DNF Book 2)

Series I DNFed at book 1:

  • Mage Tank
  • Hell Difficulty Tutorial
  • World Sphere
  • System Universe
  • 1% Lifesteal
  • Azarinth Healer

On my table:

  • Chrysalis

What I like:

  • LitRPG that takes itself seriously (can be with humor of course, but still seriously).
  • Well written, with a good plot -- preferably.
  • Some degree of mystery and magic that is, to some extent at least, magical.
  • Characters who are not cardboard cutouts.
  • Preferably something which tries to be fantastic as well.
  • Grit / harshness. This one is not a strict required, for example - Beware of Chicken was pretty great, until I got tired of its schtick.

I would love some recommendations. Not trying to offend anyone- my taste is my own.

I might give a chance to some of the stuff I DNFed, if it fits the criteria.

P.S. I was thinking of doing a tier list, hope above list is acceptable.
