Hey Product Hunt 👋 Three weeks. That's how long I spent manually checking Telegram usernames before I snapped and built a bot instead. Here's what nobody tells you about finding a Telegram username for your channel or community: t.me lies. It shows names as "taken" for accounts that have been dead for years. Meanwhile you're burning hours going one by one, with no way to bulk-check, no sense of quality — just "available" or "not available." I wanted something smarter. So I built NameHunt. What makes it different: → Dual-check: hits both t.me and the Bot API. The results diverge more than you'd expect — roughly 8-12% of "taken" names on t.me are actually free via API. → Quality scoring (1–10): not just available, but good. Factors in length, no numbers, no underscores, dictionary recognition. 🔥 means grab it now. 👎 means skip it. → Niche mode: 24 category dictionaries (crypto, fitness, tech, travel, finance...). Pick a niche, get available names you'd never think to try yourself. → Combo generator: enter your own suffixes (hub, ai, pro) and the bot combines them with niche words, checks everything, and scores the results. → Watchlist: up to 10 names monitored every 12 hours. Get pinged the moment something opens up. → 13 languages — built for a global audience from day one. Who it's for: anyone launching a Telegram channel, community, or brand. Creators, marketers, founders, developers building bots. If you've ever settled for a username because the good one was "taken" — this is for you. How to try it: open Telegram, search @namehunt_bot, hit Start. No account, no email, no friction. 15 free checks/day. I'd love your feedback — especially on the scoring algorithm (is 8/10 actually good?) and whether I'm missing any niches. What categories would you want to see? Thanks for being here. Let's find some names 🎯
