I'm surprised none in the team searched crates.io once before picking the name. Good luck!
I don't think `helix-editor` is even on crates.io, just placeholders.

That being said, when I saw `helix-db` I was thrown too. "What's a text editor doing writing a vector-graph database, I thought they were working on plugins?"
we just started off as a side project and thought the name fitted well. With the strands, graph type structure, connections...
We didn't think of getting people to use it until we found it was solving a real pain point for people, so weren't worried about trademarks or names. There was no other helix db so that was good enough for us at the time.

There was no active one. We saw this and thought it would be a nice nod to history. We've actually spoken to some developers at apple who thought this was really neat :)
It's not the end of the world, just me being a bit grumpy. I mean it when I say good luck! :)
