Hi HN!

We've been having fun building a cool domain name generator and we'd like you to try it out.

We're also releasing a bunch of available domain names ideas that our product generated in what we call "freebie sessions".

The link above points to our first freebie session, where every few seconds a batch of available domain names will be released.

What makes SneakyDomains different?

- Shows only available domains (non-premium) - Real-time availability checking, no cached/stale data - Credit-based pricing (no subscriptions, no expiry)

We're giving out 500 credits (1 credit / generated domain) for the first 1000 users. Register an account and use this coupon code to redeem your 500 credits: HN500

Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for sharing this, I hope it gets off the ground soon.

Whilst I'm not interested in the offer itself, I thought it would be interesting for users to be able to subscribe to notifications regarding certain domain names, domains that contain certain words, or domains with a maximum of, say, 3-4 chars.

For example, I'd be somewhat interested in learning when domains that contain words like "identity", "linux", or "rob" emerge, as well as if/when a domain like amazon.com or one like four.com (4 chars) become available . Random examples, of course, but you get the point hopefully.

What do you think?

    Hi Rob, thanks for your thoughts! We're not planning on expanding to watching expiring domains yet, we're focused more on finding domains that were never registered. But what you're interested in can be done by watching all the registered domains that you're interested in and either catching them when they expire (ex. https://www.expireddomains.net) or by registering a backorder (higher success rate but you have to pay, ex. https://www.gname.com/backorder)
