No, npm, “estee” is not a typo of “testem”
So, alright, look, here's the thing.
Storyteller has a really long npm namespace because “storyteller” is a really common word, and so “@storyteller/” was already taken (by someone who doesn’t actually seem to use it, which, if you’re reading this, I’m still interested in your namespace!). So we’re stuck with “@storyteller-platform/”, and that means our command line tool for book forced alignment is named “@storyteller-platform/align”, and so you need to run “npx @storyteller-platform/align --help”, etc, which is a handful!
And so we came up with a cute nickname, “estee” (get it? Storyteller -> ST -> estee?), and we were pretty happy with it, so I went to publish a v0.0.1 to npm so I could set up Trusted Publishing with our GitLab repo and then this happened: 403 Forbidden - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/estee - Package name too similar to existing packages espree,testem ...
I mean I can almost understand “espree”. I don’t actually see how someone could accidentally typo “espree” as “estee”, but at least they're similarly shaped.
