← Back to the name finder
v0.6.0
2026-08-17- Show me more now adds to the list instead of replacing it, and only checks the new names — what you've already seen stays put and isn't looked up again. 36 names per page (was 24).
- Each page is genuinely new: names already on screen are excluded before ranking, not just reshuffled. Changing keywords, style or extensions starts a fresh list; 'start over' clears it.
v0.5.1
2026-08-17- A second 'Show me more' button at the bottom of the results, with a back-to-top link, so a full page of names doesn't need a scroll up to continue.
v0.5.0
2026-08-16- Tell the AI more: when AI names are on, an extra line lets you steer them — tone, words to include or avoid, who it's for. It's added to the AI brief (the keywords and style still lead); the built-in generator ignores it.
v0.4.1
2026-08-16- Internal: split the finder into focused components/hooks. No visible change.
v0.4.0
2026-08-16- Hide taken: a toggle above the results hides names whose every checked extension is taken, and taken rows inside mixed cards. Remembered between visits.
- You can now see what AI contributed: AI-generated cards carry an AI badge and a summary line above the results reads e.g. 'AI 9 names · 24 built-in' (or 'AI 0 names' when the AI call failed — the error explains why).
v0.3.1
2026-08-16- /api/health now reports the running version (and whether platform AI is wired), so a deploy can be verified against the live site.
v0.3.0
2026-08-16- AI names for everyone with a free OTM account: sign in with OTM (top of the controls) and an 'AI names' toggle adds Claude-generated ideas alongside the built-in list — no API key needed. Requests run through the platform's metered gateway with a modest hourly allowance per account.
- Bringing your own key still works and overrides the platform path; it stays browser-direct as before.
v0.2.0
2026-08-16- Saved names: press ☆ on any card to keep it in a shortlist while you keep looking. The list lives in your browser, remembers the availability it last saw, and has Re-check and Copy list buttons.
- The feedback widget (bottom-right) is now properly styled — it was rendering as a bare unstyled button.
v0.1.0
2026-08-10- Initial release: type a few keywords about your business and get brandable name ideas, each checked for domain availability as it appears.
- Availability comes from the registries themselves over RDAP — no paid API, no key, and it covers about 1,200 extensions.
- A handful of extensions (.io, .co, .me, .sh, .gg, .us) publish no RDAP server; those fall back to a DNS check and are labelled 'probably free' rather than confirmed.
- Four naming styles — balanced, real words, coined, and short — plus domain hacks like stud.io and quick.ly.
- Optional: add your own Anthropic or Gemini API key on the Settings page for AI-generated names. The key stays in your browser and is never sent to our server.
