Product Names
Available domains for product inspiration
Launched on Product Hunt this morning and am #1 atm!
For any new to the project, it's all about unregistered domains. I tweet a new domain every day and you can use them for inspiration or new projects. Want to thank all those who have supported me along the way! You can check out my Product Hunt post here... https://www.producthunt.com/posts/product-names
Wild week! Made a simple landing page a few days ago and posted a milestone about it on Saturday. That same day I submitted to Betalist and thought it’d be a few weeks, but got featured in just 3 days! Am super surprised and excited to be live! I was motivated to submit by this IH post that @zerotousers wrote covering Betalist. The founder of Betalist, @marckohlbrugge even chimed in on that post with some great comments. If you’re looking for places to post, give Betalist a try. Here’s the link to my post if you want to check it out... https://betalist.com/startups/product-names
Made a landing page for Product Names a few days ago. Product Names is completely Twitter based, but thought having a landing page might be beneficial. I used brizy.cloud and highly recommend it if you're looking for a no code site builder (they let you use a custom domain for free 😲) Excited to be live!

Hey Stephen,
I just recently found brizy and am quite impressed from the first 2 hours I spend on it.
Can you give me a bit more context on how you are using brizy?-

Hi Ezzato! Nice, I used it to create the landing page you see here: https://productnames.co . I added a Follow button linking to Twitter as Product Names is Twitter based. Liked that Brizy doesn’t require any sign up to get started, just choose a block, modify it to your liking and link up a custom domain if you already own one. Hope this helps!

Excited to announce a new feature! In addition to free usernames, I’m now tweeting out available domains as well. A number of Indie Hackers requested this and I think it’s a great addition. Feel free to share your thoughts! If you’re new to the project, you can check it out here 👉 https://twitter.com/ProductNames

Great idea, the domain names you found look really good and short 👍
One note: when I click on one of the username links, it takes me to the twitter option page, but I don't see anything relevant (just the regular page). I'm on desktop / Mac / safari.-

🙏 Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for the heads up on the username links. Just checked and got an error page, but logged out and back in and then the links worked. Seems like something on Twitter’s side, hopefully temporary. The links are supposed to take you to the change username page.

Good point! Will look into this

Product Names looks different!? For those following the project, I recently updated the color scheme and logo. I wanted more simplicity in the design and black & white felt right. For the logo, sleeker and more logical was the goal and believe a sticker/label hits the mark. Hope you like the new look and feel free to share your thoughts!

Thanks Marlon! Yeah, I know they can get snapped up quick. Funny you should mention a newsletter, was considering it as well for that very issue. Paid option would of course be great, but planning to keep the usernames free forever to avoid any Twitter issues. But I've got some ideas in addition to usernames for down the line.

I just posted Product Names on Reddit Side Project. Anyone else typically post there? Link is below... I don't use reddit often, so asking for your support! 🙏 😊

🥳 Product Names launched a week ago! Hope all are enjoying the daily dose of inspiration. Many names have already been snapped up, so could be on to something here 🤔 Let me know what you think so far... and for any new to the project, it’s all about available twitter handles. I tweet them daily... check it out 👉 https://twitter.com/productnames

Cool idea - I would say definitely combos are important. If there is a .com that's really valuable, .io might work for certain things.
You could include who.is check and snapshot. Another valuable information would be availability of Facebook "username".
Plus you could offer guide (content marketing) or even paid help for getting one of these when they are already taken. I read articles about how to get already taken (and perhaps unused) twitter handle.

🙏 Thanks, these are great points! Adding them to the list 📝

By the way - I thought about it more. I had two monetizing ideas:
-
Either make this as a service for people who could input some data you would use to come up with the domain / twitter ideas. For example when I was looking for a name of my product, I checked how Zillow made their name and took a dictionary and started adding "Zi-" in front of many words to see if it sounded well. Or some people might want to have "fin" in their name etc.
-
Even better one for you would be to actually buy the best combinations of domain and (register) Twitter and facebook handles. These Premium packages could be then sold on your site, plus you could offer the "ok" names for free there as a way to get people talking about it and linking to you. But you would make money on the killer sets and those doesn't have to be small. Something like these guys do: https://namelix.com/

Sure! I use manual lists and python, you’ve gotta check a lot to find the good ones.

So excited to share my new project! It’s free and hopefully useful to my fellow Indie Hackers. The idea is to tweet out available twitter handles. You can use them for inspiration or new projects 🚀 I’ll be tweeting daily, check it out 👉 https://twitter.com/productnames
