Ask HN: What's your workflow for finding project names with available domains?

1 point

When building side projects, I constantly hit this snag: brainstorm a good name -> check domain availability (ideally .com/ai/io) -> find it's taken -> repeat. This iteration loop is frustrating and slows down the start of a project.

I'm considering building a tool to streamline the process and I am curious to evaluate external interest for something like this.

Is this a common pain point for others here? What's your current workflow for naming projects and checking domain availability, and how often does this issue disrupt you?
