| Confusing name because of the existence of pageant, the putty agent. |

| Darn. Pageant would've been a nice name though. Maybe `page-agent.js` is more relevant in web dev community. |

I don't think anyone will mistake a tool for putty with your tool, but you might share a google search page with it. | |

| Came here to say missed opportunity to call it "PAgent". Rolls off the tongue better than Page Agent. |
