I was on mobile and was becoming fatigued trying to type random hex characters. It’s surprisingly time consuming, almost as much as thinking up an actual project name.

That's why new companies will spring up around NGAS, Name Generation As A Service. Full servers dedicated to finding the best names in the namespace and renting them for you, because who really wants to self-host a name those days, so exhausting.

It's the worst on iOS where you have to toggle between the alphabet and numeric layers. Some Android keyboards have the good sense to display numbers above the letters.
