Congrats on the launch.
I run Namevine.com and have for 6+ years. It does much of the same thing.
Did you not consider naming clashes/confusion yourselves when creating the product?
I like the idea, but all I am getting is "Searching... Please Wait"
Even without seeing results, though - looking for an existing business name in the state you want to register your company would also be useful.
Seems broken on mobile. Android Chrome. Cant click anyt hi ing to proceed. Neat concept. I'll try it on my mac...
Slightly related, I made this name generator that will make up words so you are unlikely to run into something that already exists: [link redacted]
It uses a couple of different techniques, I'd love to add more if you have any!
I'm not sure what facebook availability means - the term I searched for says "available" but the account name is taken. Does it mean something else (page name? I'm not very familiar with facebook..)
Idea: once you have a steady stream of users, automate some domain name squatting. Buy the cheap ones (.xyz, .website, etc.) for every name, then threaten submitters with libel blogs unless they pay up.
You forgot to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to your api:
Failed to load https://api.namegine.com/api/v1/*: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://namegine.com' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 503.
Hard to trust a naming product with such a clumsy name itself.
I love the idea! Everybody has projects (for fun, hobby, or serious projects) and you see it all the time were the name is already used by [insert other large library/project] or it translates poorly in another language [becomes the word "poop" or something].
This is really cool! :D
This worked perfectly for me with a couple of project names I've got. Was glad to see no one trademarked it and the words mean about the same thing in most languages. So thanks!
FYI: div.contactUs panel that says "Interested in Trademark Registration" is covered by the namesearch-Hintcontainer with its z-index of 500. It also gets especially screwy on narrow screen width, and obscures the footer text. So I hope you can make some quick CSS adjustments there.
Nice service.
I love this. With the excessive use of dictionary words it's nice that there is now a way to search so that hopefully people will stop naming projects "Hydrogen" since there are 376 pages worth of results for it. lol
having lots of problems interacting with the site on FireFox Nightly. Can't close the subscription banner for example.
If any of you guys want to get product updates, just drop me a line at maciej@namegine.com (no spam policy).
Oh how well I remember "Namerazor"..."so good it named itself".
Anyone else hits on the link above and gets nothing?
2018 and it is unusable on an iPhone SE.
Using it on mobile it's a nightmare
Quick thoughts:
-The pitch line makes it sound like it assesses the 'quality' of the name rather than it's availability/similarity. I was expecting something that would 'rate' a name based on some kind of popularity or sentiment score.
-Im not really a fan of the name, which is a problem that stands out when your product is about good names. "Namegine" parses strangely, I think my brain's looking for another "n" to complete the word "engine" and keeps wanting to pronounce this word "Namm-Egg-Inn". Honestly, I think just NameEngine would be a better name. Obviously very subjective though.
