bontusss / domainfinder

A golang project that i built to help me find domain name for my projects.

CLI Domain finder

Instead of sitting in front of our favourite domain name provider for hours on end trying different domain name, I created this command-line tools to help me find the right one. This project contains five small programs that are coupled together by a bash script.

The domain name samples for words like "blockbuster", "deep", "cloud"

Sprinkle:

This program will add some web-friendly sprinkle words to increase the chances of finding the available domain names.

Domainify:

This program will ensure words are acceptable for a domain name by removing unacceptable characters. Once this is done, it will replace spaces with hyphens and add an appropriate top-level domain (i have just added .com, .net and .org) to the end.

Coolify:

This program will change a boring old normal word to web 2.0 by fiddling aroun with vowels.

Synonyms:

This program uses a third party API to find synonyms

Available:

This program will check to see whether the domain is available or not using an appropriate WHOIS server.

To SET UP AND RUN:

Fork the repo and clone into your local machine. Cd into the domainfinder, Set execute permission for build.sh script using the chmod command by running chmod +x build.sh (PS: Find how to give this permission if you are setting up on windows). Run the ./build.sh file. if you are on windows, rename it to build.bat. Notice if the lib folder has the build file of the sub-programs. If it was successful, Build the domainfinder program by running go build and start the program by running ./domainfinder or go run . N/B: I included the build versions. So you can skip some steps.
