Yeah, I found yours through @rauchg of Vercel the other day, and thought you were posting it now on HN:

Cool idea! How did you decide how to limit the colors for flags with many colors? For instance: https://flagpalette.com/kansas-flag-colors Kansas lists 5 colors but there are likely quite a few more.


I guess they don't count the emblem(? I don't know the name for it)


Check out https://namechecker.vercel.app if you want to see if a project name has already been taken.


Thanks for the tip. However I don't think the name is that important here. This is an open source decentralized system and the name can be changed.


Thanks! - just added GitLab support


Should be fixed now. The GitHub endpoint for repos returns a list of possible matches and now they get filtered to fully equal the search input https://github.com/toddcooke/namechecker/blob/main/app/api/e...


Great, thanks!


Added - good suggestion!


The code is here for those interested https://github.com/toddcooke/namechecker


Fixed - Thanks for pointing this out!


Thanks! I hadn't considered folks exploring existing results for curiosity's sake, but that's a good point. I'll show taken domains and add links in an update.
