Building in public. Now shipping @startnamegen, a free name generator that only surfaces names with an available .com. Try it 👇

[Alex @AlexCommitter]

Every startup name generator hands you names whose .com is already gone.

So I built one that only shows names you can actually own.

Type a keyword, get names with an available .com. Free.

20-second demo 👇

@OnyiEth Building in public is genuinely how I landed my first real users for https://t.co/5xSOq0eO9U, zero ad spend. Posting consistently about what you're making beats any other channel I've tried.

@GohilHardy Day 9 polish is underrated, that Supabase URL swap alone changes how legit the product feels to new signups. Getting closer is right, keep shipping.

@tibo_maker More time spent building features people want, less time mastering special effects. I like it.

@ApoorvTech @X As a customer of #X I would like to say hi.

@saloniiio In 5 years, those will be irrelevant.

@yashhq_22 Start with what you would pay for.

@a_lamparelli Always raise, wait, measure and decide. But act fast and listen to your customers.

Also, the hidden benefit is that the high maintenance customers you don’t want will vanish and go bother your competitors.

@devbelowstairs You nailed it.

@LuyunoworkLyu One last thought: spend your hours where the ground is friendlier, not to win a fight with a volunteer.

@LuyunoworkLyu X is more permissive to my sense of humor and opinions about tech and startups. Reddit sometimes feels like it’s moderated by extremists with a ponytail.

The lever is the brief.

Tell the generator who it is for and how it should feel, not just what it does. Sharp brief in, on-target names out: https://t.co/5xSOq0flZs

[Alex @AlexCommitter]

A name that is perfect for a consumer app can sink a B2B product, and the reverse.

Same generator, two very different briefs.

Here is how to name for each, with the two runs side by side:

[Alex @AlexCommitter]

Same three filters apply to both: an available .com, no obvious trademark conflict, and a spelling people get on the first try.

The vibe changes. The discipline does not.
