Naming Conventions

Is there a standard naming convention defined across the board for tutorials. For example, graphql-node, seems like it should be named graphql-node-express. The way it is written today, almost alludes to the conclusion that express is the only http library for Node.js.

This is also problematic with other languages...I simply choose the next language in the list, and came up with graphql-elixir. This one relies on the Phoenix framework.

I don't think that the intent was confusion; however, I think that this can easily become confusing to newcomers that don't realize that Express and Phoenix is simply one of many libraries/frameworks that can be used to bootstrap a GraphQL API on any given language.

Thoughts?
