27 - Looking for good domain names
Today I took a little detour and played around with searching through available domain names using Derek Sivers’ methodology.
I basically downloaded a list of available .com
domains from ICANN and started to parse through and programmatically find good ones. I’m amazed at how large the database is. The total file size of available .com
domains is ~25GB. I had to load it onto a database using
DuckDB which I’ve been enjoying as kind of a SQLite3 alternative recently.
I'm a freelance software developer located in Denver, Colorado. If you're
interested in working together or would just like to say hi you can reach me
at me@
this domain.
