Hey guys, about two weeks ago in a previous post about Lean Domain Search, HackerNews user kanamekun asked "how did you pick the other keywords commonly found in domain names?" [1]
I briefly explain there how I had done it in the past, which inspired me to take a second look at the algorithm and see if there were ways I could improve it. I wound up completely rewriting it to calculate the most popular domain name prefixes and suffixes used in all domain names. This article is about that process and the results.
Let me know if you have any questions.

- hncommenter13 15y ago+1. I'm actually curious about this as well, and I've read the VRSN doc. What comes next after filling out the form? What kind of vetting, if any, did they put you/your app through? Do you have to identify the app you plan to build in advance and what if you don't know what it will be yet?
