How is this more useful than the current state of domain name idea generators, which also do a search for the availability of the domain? It just seems, slower? The feat of doing that with ai alone might make an interesting blog post. But the end result as a product isn’t something I’m going to use just because it’s using ai. The job to be done is not to use ai to do x. Tho I would be interested to read the blog post..

One thing I feel is that the current domain idea generators have a complicated UI wrapped on top of AI which makes it hard to iterate on the ideas and have a follow up conversaion. I felt that having a chat UI with availablity check is a better way to handle that. This is just the initial version and I am going to improve the prompts probabally finetune it to give better results. Also I will write the blog post soon.

Not just slower, far more compute intensive. We're at this weird point where devs will both complain that VSCode is slow and bad because it runs on electron, and then insist that every decision and line of code they make runs through a giant Rube Goldberg machine before they type it.

  People are self-interested. Electron only offers the maker of the tool value but not the end user. The end user finds AI extremely valuable and the costs are on the maker.

    If we could convince all the people who hate Electron to code GUI stacks across the major programming languages that exist, maybe then we could get somewhere. Electron just gives you a consistent cross-platform environment to develop GUIs on using one of the most well known and understood technologies: front-end web.

  My only complaint about VS Code is the naming. I'll be googling for actual Visual Studio (2021, 2019, 2015, etc) specific things, and find myself with VS Code specific results all the time. I wish Microsoft would have given it a better more SEO friendly name, they didn't learn from naming SQL Server I suppose. Go has the same problem, which annoys me, a search engine company didn't think that one through. Please, major corporations, give better names to your products that are unique enough to dominate search results. Invent new words for all I care.

    I agree that's frustrating, but I doubt Microsoft will be able to ever outdo itself with its .NET Framework/.NET Core/.NET naming convention nonsense.

      Don’t forget .NET Standard. Their naming for all of this is a disaster.
      - giancarlostoro 3y ago
        Standard was supposed to be the in-between for Framework and Core if I'm not mistaken, that will likely be phased out and EOL'd.
    - giancarlostoro 3y ago
      .NET 7 and beyond consolidates Framework and Core. I think they're going to just stick to just .NET moving forward. Eventually Framework and Core will be EOL'd. I do agree though, they did it very confusingly.
      - SketchySeaBeast 3y ago
        It's definitely better sorted now, but as a dev working in the .Net stack during the .Net 2.0 Core time, it was very confusing.
