Ha. I've been working on a project [1] for wayy too long, but the backend utilizes things like this, negative strings/words like many first & last names, word identification, basic ML, a decent pronounceability algorithm to filter junk and score what's left, etc. The back end.... is not the prettiest, but it works. Every day 's deleted domains are refined then you can search through our list. The idea is to save people a wholeee bunch of time and ideally find some hidden gems. Thanks for sharing op. bookmarked. [1] https://decentdrops.com https://decentdrops.com - Please be kind! First time i've mentioned it.. I'm ready. I procrastinate too much. Haven't done a Show HN thread, want to tweak/touch up things a bit more first.

This is cool, great work. You should add some SEO metrics (perhaps as a paid upgrade) like Moz Domain Authority, or SEMrush traffic or # of keywords the domain ranks for. Something to determine if the domain has any existing SEO value on top of being a good sounding domain.

  If a domain drops long enough to be hand registered it's probably safe to assume it has no significant SEO value.

    Would agree on that. I've ran a DB of over half a billion domains from past and present, 95% of them have no "SEO value" according to the metric tools. Anything gTLD getting dropped is mostly getting ran through an auction and/or dropcatch process which means anything available an hour after expiration is either a ccTLD that others didn't have in their DB, or for some or reason wasn't attractive to other prospectors using zone files.

Oh could you also put a link to the web archive if there used to be a page there? Partly for fun and partly so you know if it was bad shit on it before

  I was thinking the same thing, but realized it's already there under the insights column!

> genericcorporation.com That domain is too good to not be snapped up. Very cool, love the idea. One could make a fun game out of imagining and prototyping projects that could exist behind these domains.

This is amazing, I found a great domain for one of my projects when checking it out. Thank you for building and sharing it!

Thank you for this, I use (well-known registrar tool with similar/same functionality), you've incorporated the exact tasks I perform (Insights) and have surpassed that registrar's tooling in usability. Kudos.

This is really amazing. Just found short pronounceable domain name for my side project. Thank you for building this.
