    Name Checker – Find project name collisions▲62

    Name Checker is a tool for when you want to create a new project and don’t want to check all the places (npm, apt, GitHub) for a name collision, you can just use this tool instead. I started working on this because I noticed on HN folks sometimes create a new company and SAAS and they didn’t notice that the name was already taken. Please let me know if y'all have any questions or comments!
