Ask HN: Name my crazy idea
I have built an iPhone app that is one screen - it describes the app and provides a text-box to provide feedback. The idea of the app is to build whatever the majority of users want, but to start from a blank slate. We'll take feedback via the app, as well as a voting forum.
So, my question is, what should I call such a thing? As soon as I figure out a name and domain, I will push this to the App Store.
Whatever the name is, it must:
1) also lead to a good domain name
2) be 12 characters or less, spaces included, or at least have a short version as well
Here are some names we have considered:
1) Evolver (or The Amazing Evolving App)
2) OurApp
3) BTO App (Built to Order)
- there 17y agoiDea
- _pius 17y agoOr "iDeate" ... more buzzword-compliant.
- andrewljohnson 17y agoI think I'm missing something in both iDea iDeate - what's the meme here?
- _pius 17y agoJust speaking for mine, "ideate" is a fancy word for brainstorming.
- nym 17y agoWhile a totally valid word, probably wouldn't make sense like "iDea" (idea) to the masses.
- nym 17y agoBlank Slate
- nym 17y agoiVolve!
- andrewljohnson 17y agoThis is a fantastic name I think! It seems we can get ivolveapp.com, but not not ivolve.com.
- ABrandt 17y agoInteresting. Some time ago I had the same idea for a web app, but I can definitely see this being easier to execute as a strictly mobile app. Please keep us informed here--I'm quite curious if the whole "majority rules" strategy could actually work. Oh, and I vote iDea (Although the IP involved here could be disastrous). EDIT: I'm now throwing my support to iVolve.
- joeld42 17y agoAnyApp
- azblaze 17y agoiWish - iwishapp.com
- kalendae 17y agothere is a webapp called namethis.com that does exactly what you are trying to do (here on HN not your app itself).
- Scott_MacGregor 17y agoHere are some of my ideas: Appfelt, RobbinsEgg, PowderKeg, iScream = (ice cream); Harmonia, BlueBirdie, WunderSkin, PavelsDog, ShurBit, DreamCast, Snarl, ProPell, Wagoneer; and MySalad.
