What does the ng at the end means? I have seen a few products/projects that added it and no explanation of the meaning.

I came in and thought it had something to do with Angular since `ng` is a popular pre/post-fix for Angular libraries.

It means new generation. Using ng suffix was the thing to do in the 2000s just like calling something beta or 2.0 in the years following

Probably next generation.

Next generation I guess.
