Show HN: Brandomica – Check if a brand name is safe to launch 1n one search

https://www.brandomica.com
1•brandomica•1h ago
I spent 30+ hours verifying a single brand name. Check domain availability across 6 TLDs, realize the .com is $14K not $12, open TESS for trademark search, check GitHub, npm, PyPI, App Store, Google for competitors — 8+ tabs, every time, for every name. And now I'm shipping faster than ever with AI, so the grind multiplies.

  Brandomica runs all of that in one search:

  - Domain availability with real pricing (Year 1, renewal, 3Y TCO — not the teaser rate registrars show)
  - Trademark risk (~850K USPTO marks via FTS5, not screen-scraping TESS)
  - Social handles (GitHub, Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn)
  - Package registries (npm, PyPI, crates.io, RubyGems, NuGet, Homebrew, Docker Hub)
  - App stores, Google competitor overlap
  - Linguistic screening (7-language profanity + meaning detection)
  - Phonetic conflict detection (double-metaphone + Levenshtein against trademark wordmarks)
  - Safety score (0-100) and Filing Readiness summary

  It works where you already work: web UI, CLI (npx brandomica check acme), REST API, MCP server for Claude/AI agents. No signup, no paywall.

  Tech: Next.js 16, Vercel, Turso (SQLite FTS5 for USPTO bulk data), Vercel Domains API for pricing. The trademark index is built from official USPTO bulk XML — ~850K live marks, updated daily via launchd.

  I built this because verification is the tax on launching, not the product. AI makes generating names trivial. Knowing which one is actually safe to use is the hard part.

  CLI: npx brandomica check yourname
