Help me (re)name my indiehacking project
Hi indiehackers,
I have a cool project with a bad name. Help me out!
So I am currently building a product for indie hackers and entrepeneurs to become better at what they to.
It's made of two components:
- A big, curated collection of habits, ideas, quotes, books, articles, tools and so on that an entrepreneur should know and use.
- A comprehensive tool (webapp/app) that chunks this collection into bite-sized pieces of information, prompts and reminders, so that you can work on it a little bit every day.
To the the naming: Currently, I have a (nice and cheap) domain: https://dailyentrepeneurtool.website/ and are going with the slogan The tool that makes you a better entrepeneur, every day.
That isn't so bad as such, but if you search for "Daily Entrepreneur" you get quite some results already, which of course are not related to me. Apart from potential infringement, this ain't ideal for SEO and marketing in general of course. Well.
So...I am looking for a new name. Aand I am a bit stuck with that.
Do you got any ideas? Let me know!
EDIT: Thanks for the overwhelming support. Update here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/renamed-my-project-to-themakerswalk-thanks-everyone-09c96718af

Agree with “maker” instead of “entrepreneur”. I like it more because I think it’s more inclusive. I’d go with something like “makertools” or even replace the ”tools” bit with an actual tool, as that’s a domain you can easily get.
Can't believe I actually got a typo in a domain, I, you know, bought with money.
"maker" is a good one I haven't thought about, thanks!
I'd encourage you to think a little less literally and/or to think more about the benefit to the user or the point of difference - why your resource and not the many others that exist - what sets you apart?
For example, I listen to the Tacklebox podcast - https://gettacklebox.com/ - and think that's a pretty cool name. Short, memorable, searchable online, and references the benefit without being too on-the-nose.
IMO, the name is more important than the domain. Lots of people are doing the alt TLD or appended/prepended term (like adding "get" to the name, as shown above) - even Peloton is "onepeloton.com" - as long as you pick a good, searchable name, Google will get people there.
(Also, I'd be very happy to be a beta user for you - saw your previous post.)
Thank you for the detailed ideas, some stuff I haven't thought about here.
I will let you know when there is a beta ready to be tested!
You misspelled entrepreneur...
Oh 😮 that’s a good reason to change the domain name!
I often use leandomainsearch.com to find available dot com domain name. How about makersecret.com?
Cool tool, way better than staring at the namecheap search trying to come up with ideas. Also thanks for the idea!
lmao. You are absolutely right.
i recommend you getting .club domain which are usually cheap, you can get something like start, for example makerbox.club something like that
Not bad! Thanks a lot.
I think just keep the name. My reasoning it super hard to search a good searchable title with available domain. But i do agree that the current name is a bit lengthy. Perhaps use this https://www.namecheckr.com/ to check it faster
and good domains usually expensive
