Why I built ZeroTaken
The product wasn't the hard part.
The name was.
I spent hours trying different domain generators, writing lists of ideas, and checking registrars one by one.
Every time I found a name I liked...
Taken.
Then another.
Taken.
And another.
Most domain generators gave me hundreds of ideas, but 90% of them weren't even available. I realized I was spending more time searching for a domain than validating my actual startup idea.
So I built a tool for myself.
Instead of generating random names and hoping one is free, it checks availability while generating ideas. That means every suggestion you see is a domain you can actually register.
That project became ZeroTaken.
I'm still improving it every week based on feedback from founders.
I'm curious:
What's the longest you've spent trying to find a startup name?
Or what naming mistake would you never make again?
I'd love to hear your stories.
