The gamma knife/stereotactic radiosurgery is a tool for precise applying radiation to a specific part of the body.

I wonder if something similar could be done with microwaves, to specifically adjust the heat in targeted areas.

It looks like you are just adding the same list of words as a prefix, in the same order, no matter what the base word is. That seems too simplistic to me.

Some words are more likely to occur in conjunction with specific words. Kayak and water, for example is probably more likely than kayak and tiger.

You might try something like a collocations data set like https://www.freecollocation.com/ (I just searched for dataset of English word collocations)

Any autocomplete that words more than one word at a time has to do this. You might check that out.

On firefox mac, sometimes the search button stays disabled. I don't have a way to reproduce, but it's shown up several times. I just reload the page. You can still hit enter and search, though.

yeah, if the base foo.com domain is available, that's the most important thing. I don't see that.

The error ""An error occurred in the Server Components render. " comes from putting the description in the word input field.

Some feedback:

Very cool! I will use this.

But your suggestions are not good. It's just "stick words on the front or end.

The simplest thing you can improve is include variants of the word. If I say "kayak", then kayaks and kayaking are closer to my intent than "wikikayak". Getting this right would be your secret sauce.

Obviously, non .com domains would make this much more valuable.

add a filter of "only show available domains" would be very helpful.

maybe have the option to do prefix and suffix? Probably only useful with AI or some algorithm that makes them related. MyKayakHome isn't bad.

On the quirky tab, you don't display the domain names, you show "sug+". I assume this is supposed to be added to the stem, but it's not consistent. "a+" guard gives "aguard", but "sug+" guard gives "suguard", where is the extra G?

Either way, please just show the domain name.

If I select the text for the name of a domain, you should not pop up the domain info box.

One the ai tab, I got "An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error."

On the main page, the search button is always disabled, but hitting enter works (firefox/mac). hmm not reproducible after reload.
