I like how fast it is at generating domain names and checking for availability.  One feature that would make it much more useful is the ability to specify multiple words and have it do a combinatorial check on them against your other words.&lt;p&gt;One other thing, the &quot;LDS&quot; favicon took me by surprise.  I had tabbed away for a second, then coming back I saw LDS and thought &quot;now how the hell did I get on Mormon church site?&quot;.  Only after I clicked back to it did I realize it was your site.  I live in Utah, and the Mormon church is very prevalent here, so I don&apos;t know if others would have the same thought or reaction.  Just thought I&apos;d mention it.

<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>neilk</author><text>I recently obtained a five-letter domain name (Grovr) in .org/.net/.com, and felt good about doing so on the cheap.&lt;p&gt;I hit on the that name out of desperation leading to silliness. The idea has to do with directed acyclic graphs of trust relationships, hence trees, hence &quot;grove&quot;.&lt;p&gt;There aren&apos;t a lot of real-world analogs, so I&apos;d been struggling to find some short name that explained the concept. I was working with a few others until recently and they had picked names like &quot;layervote&quot; which I never liked much. &quot;Grovr&quot; is obscure, but it makes &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; happy, and I&apos;ll probably make trees the fundamental graphic theme and metaphor.&lt;p&gt;But now you&apos;re telling me that misspellings are actually a big problem? How much of a problem, quantitatively?&lt;p&gt;Does that outweigh googlability? (On the other hand, if you add one letter, there is a popular children&apos;s TV character there which I&apos;ll never outrank, so that might be a problem.)</text><parent_chain><item><author>matt1</author><text>A few years back I built Domain Pigeon, a similar tool, that generated web 2.0-style domain names and made them available to visitors.
