Show HN: The easiest way to find domains like “MailChimp” or “TaskRabbit”
- amingilani 8y agoThis is awesome. I usually do the same thing, only manually. That's how I came up with some of my favorite domains. I also accidentally stumbled upon blackmail.io doing this. At that moment I wasn't looking for single words, and infact was thinking of "black" and "mail". Lucky run, I guess.
- gabemart 8y agoThank you! I've found myself doing it manually too, which is where the drive for this came from. I think I would use it even if someone else had made it, if that makes sense
- smt88 8y agoThis would be cool (I guess) if jamming random animals into domains made sense. It's not like "rabbit" and "chimp" were chosen at random. They symbolize the product.
- amingilani 8y agoIMHO, they sure were. It could just as well have been MailRabbit and TaskChimp, and we wouldn't have cared.
- wingerlang 8y agoTaskRabbit I can kinda see, but MailChimp? I don't see the connection here.
- mipmap04 8y agoI think this is more of a brainstorming tool to get ideas. For instance, I found phishfish.com which I would have preferred over what I went with for my phishing simulation service.
- jazoom 8y agoI like how the domain of this service is the epitome of what it does.
- jazoom 8y agoWhat does the "LL" icon mean?
- m3tr0s 8y agoIt doesn't work on iOS (10.2), or I just don't get it?
- gabemart 8y agoI've tested on a later iOS but not 10.2. I'll have a look later today - it's possible I'm missing a polyfill. All you should need to do for it to work is to enter something in the main text input and hit "search".
- alixaxel 8y agoNice, I made something similar a while ago using regexes: https://namegrep.com/#task%28%3Anature%2Fanimals%3A%29 https://namegrep.com/#task%28%3Anature%2Fanimals%3A%29 Mind if I replicate some of your sets? :)
- takenew 8y agoNameGrep is awesome! Love it, been trying to find something like this for quite some time now.
- nihil75 8y agoNice, but is the "pro" version really necessary? Not everything needs to be monetised..
- chatmasta 8y agoYeah, why not follow the model of every domain search site and monetize via affiliate links? Honestly you'll probably make more that way than with the pro plan anyway. Or maybe you're doing both idk.
