27 - Looking for good domain names

Last updated Oct 28, 2022 Edit Source

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.
