The site appears to work, responds quickly (despite being on Hacker News), so good job. Bookmarked.<p>Howeveer, it did claim some domains are free when they are not. I searched for "hit feed", it brought up hitfeed.com as free, but it's already registered.<p>What would you say your site does better than leandomainsearch.com?

Wow... Does a good job of suggesting names, but the Twitter &#38; Facebook availability check was a nice surprise. Well done.

Hi HN,<p>I mainly built this tool to do an exhaustive search on the primary keyword so that you don't have to settle for secondary keywords.<p>Feedback/Suggestions are welcome.<p>Thanks

Nicely done. Here's a similar site I made previously: <a href="http://www.domainjig.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainjig.com</a><p>Beyond the shameless self-promotion I found that getting people to use it would take a lot of work, with lots of alternatives out there that have dedicated teams promoting them. On the positive side, I learned a lot from it; but I never made any significant money from it. If you're comfortable sharing your next steps, I'd be interested to know what you're aiming for with this project.<p>Good luck!

1) Available domains totally broken. Searched for "auction" - it told me auction.com was available, as well as sell.com, sale.com, etc<p>2) Unlike domai.nr, it will send me to an affiliate (obviously the purpose of the site) even if they don't handle that particular TLD (for example, GoDaddy and .ly)

It suggested some .er domains, which can't actually be purchased, that I'm aware of anyway.

Useful. Thanks.<p>One issue I noticed is that I cannot "scroll down for more" when using my iPad. I tried a two-finger drag. No dice. My suggestion would be to make the "scroll down" text clickable to reveal more.

I really like the similar suggestion.<p>I am not sure of the "Lets be friends" in red text in the bottom of the search. The social buttons might be enough. Besides cleaning up the layout, its really good.

I'm not seeing any results. My guess is the results should show under the four colored bars right?. I've tried different searches and clicked on the examples and still nothing.

This looks pretty cool, but I also have the impression that we may be DDoS'ing some service by 'burst' searching through this tool. Is it the case?

I tried it and it told me a domain was available, I click through, select godaddy only to be told that it was already taken.

Here's a bug I found after scrolling down a bit:<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/m1BSY.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/m1BSY.png</a>

nice job, If I may suggest an improvement: after selecting a domain the "not available" for twitter/facebook is not clear.<p>For example, "foo.io" is an available domain, while facebook and twitter are not.<p>I imagine it checked for @foo and /foo but maybe I'd be interested in @foo_io and /foo.io and I can't tweak this, nor tell what the app checked.

1. Clean up the layout: Less is more!<p>2. My favorite flavor was fun because those new names could actually be trademarked.

Search on "group coupon" gives me available gron.com, but on GoDaddy it is not available...

I think "show unavailable" should not be checked by default. Very good site though...

Plenty of the results are "buy" but are actually part of godaddy auction

You list a .za domain, but it should really be .co.za
