Elon musk tweeted that he's going to remove 1.5 billion inactive users... that means a lot of handles that people have wanted is going to be available, but we don't know when!
That's why I decided to build an app, it took 22 hours with no sleep but I've managed to build it
It checkes every 15 seconds for the desired handle, and if it finds out that it's available:
-> You'll get a phone call from a robot saying that your handle is available to claim
-> You'll get an email
-> You'll get an SMS
I have launched it now and analyzing if people going to use it or not, either way it was a nice challenge for me..
I think this is very interesting and would be useful for a lot of people not only on twitter, but other social media websites as well.
For example, imagine a facebook, instagram, reddit, or even tiktok name checker?
I do have some feedback for your website though, but I assume you'll get a lot of that changed once you get more interest.

Never mind, just realized you have to login to twitter though your site.
Since this is the case, I would make it more obvious. For example, right above the login button, I would put "Login through our portal for access" and then have the login button much larger. Right underneath that you can put the FAQ.
Also, I like the simplicity of your website, but I think there are some things that make it look less professional and trustable. For example, the stock photo of a clock in the middle of the website. From my experience, a lot of scam sites like to use images that way and have a similar format.
Also, rather than having a large paragraph of text at the top explaining Musk's decision, I would just put the embedded tweet up there and let users make their own conclusion, and then a short description of what tweethandle does.
I would also avoid trying to justify why it's not free. A lot of people will realize that it's paid if you didn't state it. The interested ones will stay and the disinterested ones will leave. Trying to convince people that the price is justified will only further turn off the ones that are on the cusp of buying.
I would also put the how it works section much earlier on, and accompany it with images and steps.
Overall, I think this is going to be very useful. I could even see it expanding in the future as a tool to claim a huge list of twitter names and hold them, only selling to the highest bidder, which could also be a sustainable business model.
Speaking of feedback, I would love to get some from you guys if you have the time. For the record, I'm building an AI API that allows devs to easily develop AI apps without hosting their own AIs.
The website is not up ATM, but the prelaunch one will be soon. I'll post it on twitter once it releases https://twitter.com/TheRealEtch and would love to get some feedback on it.
Good luck on your product!
Hi Richard, those all very good and on point reviews, I'm on your side but also I had to be VERY FAST, so that's what I could've achieved in that limited time, but I think you're right.
I'm just going to try and build something with tailwind since it's ready at the moment.
Nice! Post some updates once It's done because I'd love to see the result.
