The name of this one is a bit too clever: On GitHub in the URL it's just launcher, on HN uLauncher, actually on the website and stores it's µLauncher. I don't even know how to type and pronounce this 'micro' character - or is it 'mu'? https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/wy53dr
For accessibility and shareability to people without an academic background an easier name would be better.

Yeah. Plus the fact that ulauncher is already an existing launcher-type app for Linux: https://ulauncher.io/

I guess it's been a while, but using µ in a name isn't exactly unprecedented, μTorrent was the BitTorrent software to use at the time, and so that discussion played out then. Everyone just called it uTorrent because it was the easier thing to type and made the pronunciation obvious and singular.

As a fanatic Niagara Launcher user, what are the main differences?

If I remember correctly, Niagara gives you fast text based app lookup as the primary means of accessing apps. Ulauncher offers the same interface as a fallback, but the primary means of accessing apps is via a small set of gestures on your homescreen.
