Kikked – check if any of your NPM repos is trademarked

In plain words

Kikked is a tool that checks whether NPM repository names conflict with registered trademarks. Designed for developers publishing packages to NPM, it helps identify potential legal issues before releasing code. The tool scans repository names against trademark databases to flag conflicts that could result in naming disputes or removal requirements.

  Name Checker – Find project name collisions2023 · namechecker.vercel.app · ▲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!

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
