I like the idea but the source whois data seems quite inaccurate.<p>It said that digit.com and 6af.com were both free (which I obviously jumped on) but turns out they are actually registered and not due to expire for some time.
This is very cool. TheMargarine.com is available--startup millions, here I come!<p>Edit: Seriously, great work. Have bookmarked and will be back for my next domain search.
Wow, this is very cool and elegant. I really like how the UI is simplistic and functional. Thank you for making it open source too.<p>One small idea might be to add slider bars to adjust the weights. That way, one can drag these sliders and see the rankings update on the fly. Maybe these bars (vertical?) can be displayed next to the textbox when user clicks in the textbox. Or maybe you can place the bars (horizontal) in the right column where you currently have feedback.<p>Additional cool features might be the ability to "watch"/receive notifications for new domain names that satisfy specified weights. Maybe automatically tweet the user or implement it as an RSS feed.
Great tool. I have one minor criticism - the domain availability seems to be just inaccurate enough to be annoying. The first few domains that caught my eye appeared to be free but were actually taken.
Somewhat off the main topic: I really like the feedback form, very elegant and to the point. I think Dropbox does something similar for their feedback. I might try something like that in my app.
Very cool, as someone who has been searching for domains recently I can really appreciate the functionality.<p>As for feedback, I think having the text boxes at the top for weighting treated graphically might be better. Either some up/down or +/- icons to just tweak those might be cool. (maybe an ajaxy slider that pops up?)<p>But otherwise dig the concept. +1
Seems to be missing some short names --- for instance, while diiq.com and diiq.org are owned, diiq.net is unclaimed --- but 'diiq' does not appear at all, despite being four characters long. What qualifies a domain name to appear in your list?
Very cool. Two thoughts:<p>1) I wouldn't call the numbers you enter into the boxes "scores." They are really weights - I don't know about others but I got confused by that at first.<p>2) Is there a way to substring searches? E.g. If I type in "debate" I might want "mydebate" to come up...
Another useful tool along these lines is <a href="http://domai.nr/" rel="nofollow">http://domai.nr/</a>, which searches all the available TLDs, not just the big 5. However, it expects you to have a full word in mind rather than suggesting things.
use different colors for .com, .net, etc columns.<p>if it is free, use the black text "free". if it is taken, grey out that cell, with no text.<p>that will make it much easier to scan with the eye
I like it a lot; however, it seems that if I type, my name, for example (my actual name) it doesn't check it. It seems like there is a very limited list of domains? Although I like it so far.
The scoring mechanism is weird, and not quite intuitive. However, I played around with it for a few min and it started to make /some/ sense.<p>Overall, very useful for finding short names.
I really like it... it would be great, as I'm sure you know, to tie in registration.<p>On that note, who is everyone using for registration these days?
