Naming advice needed
Not so long ago I started working on web service that helps make animated charts and export them to video (for uploading to YouTube, for example). That service will produce animations that look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og847HVwRSI
I came up with name of web service "AniCharts", but I'm not a native English speaker, so I am not sure at all.
What do you think about that name?
Also I doubt in domain I have registered: https://anicharts.pro
*.pro domains are very cheap, but is it okay to be in this domain zone?
i came here to give you an opinion but I saw @levidxyz dropped a really good domain name, with a good keyword even. So i ain't going to say nothing.
good luck Ilya

Thank you :)
I like Living Charts as a name over AniCharts. Living as often used in English to describe things that are normally static but have been "brought to life" with movement, etc. Also livingcharts.com is surprisingly available 👍
I didn't even consider word "living" before.
Appreciate your help, thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
go always for a com, hard but doable. something generic like 'anicharts' is not that spectacular that you won't find anything simliar in the .com space
.pro is one of the better new tlds but still a bit odd/tacky
There are plenty of successful Indie Hacker projects that don’t have a “.com” domain.
yes and i shouldnt be #1 prio from day 1 but a not dot com signal weakness, read Paul Grahams piece about domains, it's essential and one of his best. A company should be from the outside from start professional. You can be playful and fun and build toys and do nothing inside but the every core property of the company must be damn professional. A domain is the first thing people see and a non-.com signals, oh they don't have the money, they product doesn't make money, they are still small, they just started, funny pet project... you don't start a company in the first place to create such sentiments otherwise you don't need a company at all: netlify subdomains with your private gmail are enough. Latter is a way to start toys BUT once you have a real company entity get a strong domain
Google stated that the domain naming has little impact on internet traffic, trust, etc. If you’re catering to baby boomers, then maybe possibly. But I don’t think it has much impact on you get generations.
This is an interesting opinion. I'm curious if you view carrd.co which makes over 30k/month as "oh they don't have the money, they product doesn't make money, they are still small, they just started, funny pet project"
It’s an archaic line of thinking to be honest.
