Show HN: Tool that helps you find domains for your idea

I built a simple tool that suggests good domain names based on your idea, something I usually spend way too long on myself. It's free, no sign-up needed, 5 searches / day (a bit wonky, working on that part).
Mainly built it for myself but would love some feedback and tips for improvement! :)
Thanks!

Great, I created my own domain search tool as well and I liked yours! How are you checking the availability of the domains? I ended up using a client side check using RDAP, but some people did no like it.

Thanks! Using a server side dig command and then running a Domainr call to double check :)

My toxic trait is spending 3 hours looking for the perfect domain and ending up with a .xyz that sounds like a wifi password
also check namegator.net — actually useful and free for domain ideas

Haha, same issue here. Namegator delivers some solid names, think I need to tweak my AI prompt a bit to come up with more variants. Thanks for the link!

Your long domain is giving bad vibes on the kind of domains you would recommend. If you can't find a good domain yourself, what expectation do we have as customers?

Hehe, I see your point! It was intentional though, to prove a point that it's tricky to find good domain names :)
