Curiosity, Why did you call it bowline?

Hello,

i'm curious about the name. I'm planning to do a similar project but for wordpress.

I was thinking along the lines of nautical terms and shipping. Docker uses the shipping container metaphore. I used to go sailing (and hope to again) and have tied many bowline knots, tying halyards to sails, etc. Of course sailboats don't directly connect with shipping containers but i suspect the crew of those big freighters also know how to tie bowlines.

Also, a bowline is a handy knot, easy to tie and untie, useful in many situations. Hoping this project might become such.

Nice to know. I'm trying to create some kind of fork for wordpress here: https://github.com/vekexasia/bowline-for-wordpress

Cool. Makes sense as WP and Drupal use a very similar stack. Good luck!
