#22prompt: "domain name for site that sells tractors"
result: "nomadventurequest.com"
...at least we know that nomadventurequest.com is available I suppose, saves me less than one minute to look that up.

#23I like the idea and clear UI. The initial results seemed off though ( got very unrelated name for a given prompt ).
Re: Show HN: I taught ChatGPT to find cool domain names – with availability check
#24Cool - not sure I'd want my prompt to be seen by others (which you can achieve by changing the incremental id in the url). Maybe use a uuid instead if you want to make it shareable?
Sure, Thanks for the feedback. I will implement uuid also. You can consider signup if you want the url to be private. For now I have made guest searches public (As there is no identity involved)
You could also add a checkbox to make the URL private, like what Qualys SSL Server Test does. I’m not sure people want to sign up on yet another website (what will you do with my data? Where is your privacy policy?) just to generate domain names.

#25It gave me weird animal puns as suggestions, without any reference to animals in my query. Is there maybe some mixup in the backend, reuse of gpt conversations?
Also FurryFriendsHub.com it’s apparently available if anyone is interested! ;)

#26How is this more useful than the current state of domain name idea generators, which also do a search for the availability of the domain? It just seems, slower? The feat of doing that with ai alone might make an interesting blog post. But the end result as a product isn’t something I’m going to use just because it’s using ai. The job to be done is not to use ai to do x. Tho I would be interested to read the blog post…
Not just slower, far more compute intensive. We're at this weird point where devs will both complain that VSCode is slow and bad because it runs on electron, and then insist that every decision and line of code they make runs through a giant Rube Goldberg machine before they type it.
People are self-interested. Electron only offers the maker of the tool value but not the end user. The end user finds AI extremely valuable and the costs are on the maker.

My only complaint about VS Code is the naming. I'll be googling for actual Visual Studio (2021, 2019, 2015, etc) specific things, and find myself with VS Code specific results all the time. I wish Microsoft would have given it a better more SEO friendly name, they didn't learn from naming SQL Server I suppose.
Go has the same problem, which annoys me, a search engine company didn't think that one through.
Please, major corporations, give better names to your products that are unique enough to dominate search results. Invent new words for all I care.

If we could convince all the people who hate Electron to code GUI stacks across the major programming languages that exist, maybe then we could get somewhere. Electron just gives you a consistent cross-platform environment to develop GUIs on using one of the most well known and understood technologies: front-end web.

My suggestions were completely out in left field.

I agree that's frustrating, but I doubt Microsoft will be able to ever outdo itself with its .NET Framework/.NET Core/.NET naming convention nonsense.
