Thanks, I've had a few people tell me it relieved a bunch of stress from choosing the perfect name. I plan to extend it with different term groups (space, sports, etc...) so you can fine tune the results to your specific startup industry.

I'm also proud of the way I implemented[1] the Domainr API[2] to check for domain availability. Previously I checked it in the backend but it made things very slow so now the backend generates the domains and the client lazily checks the availability.
