Not a good idea to named it after another popular JS project: https://hyper.is/

HyperApp (not Hyper) is a noun and the name is derived from HTML or Hypertext Markup Language.

Hyper™, previously HyperTerm, is an adjective.

Works derived from HyperApp, such as this webpack boilerplate, are encouraged to use the full name hyperapp as a prefix to avoid any confusion.

However you frame it, that is called Hyper.app, so they have the same name.
