Why, of all names possible, you thought TILF was the best one?


There’s no specific reason, I just liked the idea of a little elf/goblin having the freedom to draw whatever they wanted. At first, I wanted to call this project "Folletto" (in Italian, that means elf), but then I thought it would be better to keep an extremely simple name: a tiny elf who picks up his pencil and starts drawing. Tiny Elf.


Tile I’d Like to Fill.


It’s “Tilf” not TILF, and means Tiny Elf, per the docs.

Why? What’s the problem with it?


Milf, dilf, etc


Wait till you see the image editor named after a kind of BDSM bottom.


I'm a big fan of software/services with silly, often sexually adjacent names. Take this for example: https://vore.website

Any guesses what this is? Spoiler: it's an RSS reader.


I did not make the association. Is something wrong with me?
