adjective

(of an action or situation) likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others. "she'd put herself in an invidious position" synonyms: unpleasant undesirable ungrateful

Pretty apt name, considering what the software does.



TIL that invidious is an actual English word.

I always suspected that it was video related pun, something like "in-videos".


The fact that the word also contains "vid" probably has something to do with why they picked that word for the project name, in addition to the actual meaning of the word.
