Someone should build something like this, based off startup domain names, cross-checked with availability.

#33I can only assume that "Scalp_game" is either a new PC title that involves phrenology, or a means by which shampoo companies can alter product ratings.

#35flappyster - a combo of flappy bird and friendster, I think it could work.

#36I love how close some of these are to plausible. "HelloWaurd", "ruby-franwork", "Contect-Server", "php-squere", "griend" (friend + grind?). Also: "libdog". A library, for dogs. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Your examples just look like spelling errors ("contact", "framework", "Word", "square".) I got a lot of ones that looked indistinguishable from real repos, at least on first glance. E.g., "WebDashApp", "PlayFrameProject", "check-bat", "language-1", "data-cores", etc. As a random sample of just the first 5 I got. I wonder what libdog would do. Is it meant to be used by dogs, or used by humans to interface with dogs. O…
Yep, I got tons of normal-looking ones as well - had to dig to find some of these, after I found HelloWaurd and was tickled by it.
The thing I find interesting and amusing - which I guess is common to both Markov chain generative models and this RBM-driven generator - is that the 'errors' still follow the rules of the English language pretty well, and they're all pronounceable.

#37Found a great name for my next project on the first try. Plugin-plugin is really going to take off.
I'm partial to "hello-bark" myself. It looks like jashkenas is getting into the soft-serve business with "backbone.dq".

#38Docker-iOS, great :) that'd be super useful running containers on my phone

My favourite is SystemShart. I think I might add that to my Exception hierarchy.

I'm going with 'workflaw' for my new build system.
