From idea to launch in 1 hour and 54 minutes
Last night a friend of mine was playing around with ChatGPT to find a business name now this was relatively easy to do, but checking what domains are available, of course, is a little more work and gets tedious quite quickly.
Surely this could be automated?
So I scoped out in 10 minutes how to build a little app to do just this:
- Generate a business name using GPT3
- Check if the domain names are available
To launch so quickly, you want to use something like NextJS + Vercel; using the API/Serverless functions makes it incredibly easy to deploy your whole application instead of hosting multiple servers/front-backend, etc.
Now it's important to note that this does not use any database or authentication, which saves a lot of time.
And within 1 hour and 54 minutes, we are live https://namegenius.fyi/
Complete tech stack:
- React/NextJS
- OpenAI NPM package
- WHOIS lookup nic
- Vercel <- big-time saver
- TailwindCSS + Tailwind components
- Figma
This of course, is an extremely simple app, but it's incredible how easy and quickly you can deploy an MVP nowadays!

Good thinking and put it right away to launch it. All the best.
