Reached 1000 visitors on launch day

MixedName shows you names that exist in both of two different languages, so that international couples can find ideas for how to name their baby.

I was inspired to write this tool, because we had to do just that when our son was born: finding a name that would work well in both Japanese and Finnish.

It was actually quite fun to create, as I got to play with several datasets. What got me to finish it quickly was trying to first create a proof of concept just for my own use. After I had one working page, it suddenly felt "real" and my motivation to finish it for release at least doubled. At 5am last night I was still going "oh I should just change this one thing...".

Once I found a domain name and as a test shared it in two cross-cultural Facebook groups and posted it on /r/japanese and /r/german it quickly reached 1000 visits! Quite nice for a project that only took a bit over a week to create, since my previous one that took 2 months to create still has less than 200 visits 😁
