Interesting idea for vetting potential product/company names, but I am confused why it has to be through an app (even though it looks really pretty). Interested in hearing where you scrape data from, and why you decided to make an app verses web.

@paulprins Well - if you're like me...you're constantly in meetings with people coming up with ideas....and I always have my phone. I don't always have my laptop. A mobile app let's you query product names from anywhere.
Paul Prins
@corbett3000 yea I get that point but so do websites since you can access them on your phone too. Was it a decision based more on the experience of the team?
Peter Corbett ✈
@paulprins naw - decision was based on the above.

@paulprins There's actually thousands of people who search for domain & naming related apps through the app store each month. Considering how competitive the space is on the web, it's a smart move to make an app. Plus this looks great, so I'm sure it'll get lot's of organic downloads :)
Dave Bailey
@paulprins Totally agree. I'm reading this online and I can't be bothered to install an app - even though it looks pretty interesting. All about the progressive app ;)

This app might work for this same use case 😂
Markus Schuette
Cool idea. Would use this a lot if it were web based, but not going to download another app.

Where are you guys pulling data from?

@andreasduess a few APIs at the moment, Domainr, Markify, App Store, Product Hunt, Angel List, and Pearson

Love this. Naming is a pain and the mobile app makes it easy to check out name right when they strike you. Thanks!

@bluerssen almost reminds me of punching names into Know em' back in the day.

You may have noticed some Product Hunt URL's append "-#" at the end of the URL when products share the same title. Apparently "Buddy" is a popular name.

@rrhoover I didn't know that :O

Risky name choice 😂 Looks really great though, congrats :) Would love if you added available social media handles.

Oh my God, this is so useful! Before this I had to go to so many different sites, and then I wasn't even sure if I was checking correctly, this is pretty awesome

Love this! Any thoughts about an android app? App looks stunning 😯

@calum_webb thank you very much! At the moment we are sticking with iOS, but potentially for the future.
Calum Webb
@tguidon All right sure!
