Suggests useful domain names, better than similar tools
From 4 comments
Really nice. I tried it and it suggested some genuinely useful domain names, unlike most of these tools.
dholowiski on HNPersonally, I think it's totally badass.
johnconroy on HNJust tested it, very useful, good job!
jonkelly on HNHmm, tldrpower.com is available. How are you checking for name availability? Every option I've looked at either wants to charge me money, or has a TOS that's hostile to scripting.

Fast or useful for finding domain names
From 2 comments
This is great--I've already bought 2 good domains for a project that I've been trying to rename for months. Thanks!
acabal on HNThis is actually quite useful. Speed would improve the overall user experience. Also, I'm not too sure what the links are at the bottom of the page? All in all, great first…

When I scroll down a little and try to highlight a domain name, as soon as I click on the white-space, it scrolls to the top. All I am trying to do is highlight:…

Check matching Twitter and Facebook usernames
From 1 comment
Additional value would be to check associated Twitter/Facebook usernames - you're not just searching for a domain name, you're searching for a brand, right? Great service though…

Caching of results
From 1 comment
it works. To make this even faster., Try to memcatch frequently searched domain names and flush it for every 24 hours(Incase someone registered one). Good luck.
