Ha. I've been working on a project [1] for wayy too long, but the backend utilizes things like this, negative strings/words like many first & last names, word identification, basic ML, a decent pronounceability algorithm to filter junk and score what's left, etc.
The back end.... is not the prettiest, but it works. Every day 's deleted domains are refined then you can search through our list. The idea is to save people a wholeee bunch of time and ideally find some hidden gems.
Thanks for sharing op. bookmarked.

This is cool, great work. You should add some SEO metrics (perhaps as a paid upgrade) like Moz Domain Authority, or SEMrush traffic or # of keywords the domain ranks for. Something to determine if the domain has any existing SEO value on top of being a good sounding domain.
Would agree on that. I've ran a DB of over half a billion domains from past and present, 95% of them have no "SEO value" according to the metric tools. Anything gTLD getting dropped is mostly getting ran through an auction and/or dropcatch process which means anything available an hour after expiration is either a ccTLD that others didn't have in their DB, or for some or reason wasn't attractive to other prospectors using zone files.
Thank you for this, I use (well-known registrar tool with similar/same functionality), you've incorporated the exact tasks I perform (Insights) and have surpassed that registrar's tooling in usability. Kudos.
This list was helpful when searching for a unique domain names or for social media handles. It was inspired by the original gist by @marcanuy [1] and by an article from LeanDomainSearch [2].
Unfortunately both lists were not as easy to search and sort so I converted it to a tsv on gist.
Thanks! In fact, I can't seem to find any list at all in your [2]. They say "Without further ado, here are the final results", but I don't see any links.
TheGo.com, TheIn.com, TheIt.com don't make that much sense, but since they're short enough, they've been scooped up, because domain investing isn't only about selling domains to those building sites, it's also about selling to other domain investors.
Note to others before clicking: this list may hang your browser, it did mine (Chrome & Brave, Android; Lightning handled it fine tho I have everything turned off in that).
Interesting catch, since moving to Germany I noticed some "something24"s (though only one comes to mind now) so I would indeed expect that to show up here, even if lowly ranked.
It looks like there are either no numeric pre/suffixes at all (that sounds unlikely) or they are not included? Looking through the raw I see nothing matching /[0-9]\+?$/
I wonder who started the whole 24 thing. I know Deutsche Bank used to use it, googling "db24" gives them as the top result. Ah even www.db24.de redirects to their site.
