Fast and clean UI
From 3 comments
Nice one! I like how fast it is, compared to the most of the domain registration sites that I use to check availability. Not to mention the simple and clean look of bootstrap.
nileshbhojani on HNAwsome, I like how quick it is.
Jaygitau on HNI've wanted something like this to exist! Thanks!

Good idea that automates domain brainstorming
From 3 comments
I love this idea. I did a couple of toy searches and found some pretty great domain names. This sort've feels like one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. Which means...…
tseabrooks on HNWow! So smart this is something I do when coming up with domain names but nice to simplify it, making it incredibly faster.
brackin on HNI've wanted something like this to exist! Thanks!

Availability checks slow or failing under load
From 1 comment
Also it's getting kinda killed at the moment which is why the availability checks are coming back kinda slow and are sometimes failing. Should settle down after the rush is over.

Inverted list arrow controls
From 2 comments
(Sorry to start a second thread but it's separate from the language issue.) Is it just me that thinks the controls on the lists work upside down? I find I want to use the arrows…
Nursie on HNI love this idea, but I was thinking the same thing about the arrows. They feel backwards to me.

Some results incorrect, e.g. michael.org shown available
From 1 comment
That's awesome.. it shows michael.org as available though, which it isn't :( got my hopes up!

Check permutations automatically without clicking each word
From 1 comment
Cool idea! I think to make it really useful you should be comparing all of the permutations (at least for one of the columns) for me without me having to click through each one…

Foreign language thesaurus support
From 1 comment
Nice! Could you mix in some foreign dictionaries too? When I have a word, I'd like to see alternatives for it in French, Spanish, Nordic, Italian, Japanese (English-spelling)…

Progress indicator instead of waiting text
From 2 comments
Really nice. The only suggestion I have putting some kind of animated progress indicator instead of just the text "waiting". If it takes more than a second you tend to wonder…
stef25 on HNAgreed. Some load indicator, or "..." (in gray) will be more natural in this environment. "Waiting" can be perceived as "waiting for you to register" / suspended etc :)

Min/max word length filter
From 1 comment
This is really cool. Is there way to set maximum/minimum word lengths for the checkboxes? Because I wouldn't really want a long domain for any of my sites.

Open source the code
From 1 comment
Would you consider open sourcing this eventually? I'm just curious about how you did some things like: The tweet/like buttons. Did you go and make them on their respective sites,…

Questions
What availability checking method is used
From 1 comment
Really cool! What are you using for availability checking? You're getting so many and they're coming in so fast!?

Is it an American thesaurus
From 1 comment
I'm not quite sure what it's trying to say to me here, but with the exception of 'wolf' and 'kitchen utensil' the second column is rather, err, theme limited and slightly…
