What .flow would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
Flow commonly refers to a broadly recognized term used across a wide range of contexts.
"Flow" refers to the continuous, steady movement of something (such as liquid, information, work, or activity) from one point or stage to another without interruption.
"Flow" is an English word meaning a steady, continuous movement or stream (of liquid, information, work, or people) and, informally, a state of focused, effortless engagement in an activity.
