Congrats on the launch.

I run Namevine.com and have for 6+ years. It does much of the same thing.

Did you not consider naming clashes/confusion yourselves when creating the product?

This is a nice tool for domain names. I didn't find any as complete as yours when it comes to generate potential .com domains

For personal / social media link names I use https://namechk.com/ to see the full listings of every software.

It's nice to meet competitors. We have run the name against trademarks databases. The product was not ready when we registered our domain, but that's valuable feedback, to look out for similar domains.

Thanks for the reply, likewise.

And to echo another question in the comments, how is the name pronounced exactly? On reading it, it seems "gine" is likely pronounced "jin" or "gin" as in "engine".

That was the intention. It was meant as an engine for names.
