Show HN: The easiest way to find domains like “MailChimp” or “TaskRabbit”

This 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.

IMHO, they sure were. It could just as well have been MailRabbit and TaskChimp, and we wouldn't have cared.

TaskRabbit I can kinda see, but MailChimp? I don't see the connection here.

I 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.

This 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.

Thank 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

Nice, I made something similar a while ago using regexes: https://namegrep.com/#task%28%3Anature%2Fanimals%3A%29

Mind if I replicate some of your sets? :)

NameGrep is awesome! Love it, been trying to find something like this for quite some time now.

I like how the domain of this service is the epitome of what it does.

Nice, but is the "pro" version really necessary? Not everything needs to be monetised..

Yeah, 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.

What does the "LL" icon mean?

It's supposed to show that the combination of the keyword and the suggested word is alliterative

Thank you

It doesn't work on iOS (10.2), or I just don't get it?

I'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".

Which framework do you use?

It's using preact, the react.js alternative
