Checking domains one-by-one is exhausting. What's your "hack" for finding the perfect name fast? ⚡

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

Finding the right domain name usually feels like a massive time sink. You type in your ideal name: taken. You try a clever variation: taken. Then you start manually typing in .co, .io, .ai, and .app just to see what's left. It's an endless, repetitive loop of searching across different tabs.

As someone who spins up a lot of side projects and apps, I was losing my mind doing this manually. I wanted a way to input a few base keywords, select my favorite extensions, and instantly generate a matrix of what's actually available—without messing with clunky text logs or expensive aggregator subscriptions.

To scratch my own itch, I built an open-source Bulk Domain Availability Checker that lives right in the browser. It combines public RDAP APIs with live registrar scraping to instantly spit out a clean, filterable grid of available domains, all saved directly to your local storage.

I'd love to know how the rest of the PH community approaches this phase of a project:

• How much time do you usually spend hunting for a domain before you just pick one and start building?

• Do you have any secret tools, scripts, or workflows to bulk-check your ideas?

• When do you decide to compromise on the name vs. paying a premium for the exact match?

Let's share our best domain-hunting workflows below! 👇
