   Does your site need to redirect me to the French version ( https://faut-il-https-sur-mon-site.fr/ ) just because I'm in Canada? No, no it does not.

   Sorry for the mini heart-attack! No, to be honest to get that screenshot I just launched the app in an emulator, randomly swiped left and right a bunch of times, then took the shot. I think it is a nice name though :)

   Dang, I'm sorry about that.. any chance you can send me a screenshot / phone details? I unfortunately don't have a good way of debugging this (essentially I think that error implies that you can't reach the server for wh

   Yea I purposefully made the explore mode keep al the names. Next release I’ll make sure to add a toggle on whether to apply the filters or not because in hindsight this is confusing.

   Awesome. I sincerely wish I found this before I decided to write my own, we definitely would have used it!

   Hmm, that is a good idea; thanks. I don't have a CS degree so this is one of those areas where I don't know what I don't know.

   My dad didn't have a middle name. In Canada that caused more problems than anything; forms would constantly be denied / sent back / whatever because whoever processed them would think he forgot to fully fill it out.

   We both work from home and literally spend nearly 24 hours a day together. I may have coded it but not in a vacuum; she helped design and test it. Despite having many things in common, we also believe it is healthy to each have hobbies &amp

    lol, you can filter those out in the app if so desired (my filters currently only show names popular before the 1930s).

    No.. but its built using Dart / Flutter so it may be possible to publish as a web version (though I think you'd run into issues with the database backend).

    That's a good idea and should be fairly easy to add. You can currently disable the colour-based gendering of the app if desired but your suggestion would be a lot more useful.

    That's a really clever idea, and would probably give us the types of names we're looking for (not common but everyone knows it and knows how to spell & pronounce it).

    Congrats! Elo rating is a good idea for sorting.. I just implemented an insertion sort to help rank names which works but also feels a bit awkward.

    Congrats! And thanks!

    My feelings on this is that if you're not sure, that's actually an immediate dislike.

    Exactly! The development actually languished for many months and I almost scrapped it. Only in the past week or two did I decide to revive it when I once again felt the need for it (9 months go by fast). Thanks!

    Thank you so much! I had left the “explore” list completely unfiltered so you could always see all names, but it would be trivial to add a checkbox or something to apply the active filters; I’ll definitely add that!

    There is. On the sharing screen there is a matches section that shows the intersection of your lists, sorted based on a combined sorting of your favourites. It does let you see your partners lists too however, so it’s not completely hidden.

    Good idea, and would be easy enough to fork and do. Just need to find a list of pet names somewhere.

    Thanks! That page is really interesting to me! I'm definitely going to spend some time this weekend going through it and learning all about it.

    Thanks! I've found that the vast majority of software I get hired to write boils down to just a frontend to a database / spreadsheet, and the rest is just window dressing.

    Thanks! I really wanted that in the app (and more filters besides), but the data source was the US Social Security administration (the easiest to access list of names I could find) [1], and it really only includes the number of people wit

    To you as well :) That's impressive! Around that time my brother was desperately trying to get me to build his app ideas so we could partner together. I dismissed him as I was busy focussing on school and thought there was no real mone

    The dream! We went from trying 5 or 6 apps that we didn't really like, then downloading the CSV of names, then getting overwhelmed by all the names, the making the bone-headed decision to kill a bunch of time building an app instead of

    That's a really great idea, I'll add that for the next release for sure! Thanks!

    That sounds fun. Mostly we try to avoid names that would cause an unfortunate acronym, which definitely takes a few of the names we like off the list.
