Alternatives
Products that do what Get a great domain by translating your keyword into 30+ languages does
In the dark old days when I was uninspired and couldn't come up with a name for a project I'd hop onto my old pal Google Translate and see if a keyword associated with my name "sounded cool in German" If it did, and the domain was unused I'd scoop it up and use it. This process took a while, I'd try German, French, Russian, Armenian, Latvian, etc trying to find something cool that wasn't already being used. So I built http://www.catelus.com/ It translates your keyword into more than 30 different languages and checks if your-word-in-german.com and your-word-in-polish.com are…

Hey HN, I built an alternative to Google translate that's fast, accurate, and 1/30th the price. 20+ supported languages, not billed until 100k tokens, and already used thousands of times with real language learning users. The landing page has a demo for you to test performance yourself for free with no card required. (Also landing page says 1/13 the price because had to account for all 3 big names, with varying prices each). I built this as a workaround for my language learning startup, and it was perfect at a fraction of the cost. Hopefully it can help other devs in accessibility…

Every now and then I see these posts where people post the domains they purchased for XYZ side project that is clearly not happening. But considering how difficult it can be to find a good name, its always nice to see what people are willing to part with. Post your domains!

Hi! I am doing a learning project, attempting to build an imperative language (and interpreter). The end product will be useless for others, I just want to learn and better understand how to build imperative languages. :) If someone else shares this interest and want to give some good hints on good resources I would be grateful. Currently I am looking at an awesome text by Bob Nystrom. All suggestions and tips on resources are most welcome. I am very much a beginner in this, but I find this topic very fascinating. Mail me or post links here! Cheers! You can try a beta version Online at…

Hello HN, I'm often looking for short domain names for my various projects, and I thought it would be a good idea to publish my lists and make them available to others. At the time of writing, mononames offers more than 850,000 one-word domain names available in over 40 TLDs. The lists are in downloadable spreadsheet format, with grammatical classes and sentiments. Updated lists are sent by e-mail every week. An extract from one of the lists is freely available on the mononames website, along with a "surprise" for the .ing TLD. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to reply…

I built a simple tool that suggests good domain names based on your idea, something I usually spend way too long on myself. It's free, no sign-up needed, 5 searches / day (a bit wonky, working on that part). Mainly built it for myself but would love some feedback and tips for improvement! :) Thanks!

A small site created to see the hell world example in many different languages. I got tired of sites which only showed 10-30 languages. I'm sure there are some inaccuracies (some languages are not I languages per se).

Hey there, HN people! I would like to share with you a little tool I've been working on this year. It's called Newsy https://www.newsy.co Problem I have more than 30 domains that I've bought over the years. I plan to (eventually) do something with them, but meanwhile, they are un-used and just sitting there. I want to use them somehow. I know there are a few impulsive domain buyers out there! :) My Solution I wanted to turn my un-used domains into something useful without me having to do too much work. So I created Newsy https://www.newsy.co It turns your un-used domains…

Have you ever come across a word in another language that just perfectly captures a feeling or concept you can't quite express in your own tongue? I created coolforeignwords.com because I wanted to share those "aha" moments with fellow language lovers, and created a website to make those words easier to find. So, whether you're a word nerd, a traveler, or just curious about the world, please feel free to visti my website. Try it out and please share your feedback. It's still very early stage, so would love any advice. Thank you
