How bad is my plan to get pre-launch users?
In the past I've been guilty of waiting until a product is complete before I even start thinking about marketing. I've had good results with SEO and organic traffic but it has taken over a year to get rolling. This time I'm trying to do things differently and get some users pre-launch.
Here is my plan - feel free to flame it, let me know a better way and help out with the obvious gap...

Which of these 3 logo options is best?

Makerlog, IndieHackers and Twitter are my go-to choices for communities but SEO/organic traffic from search are where it's at for really targeted traffic long-term

Help me choose between these two domain names?
I am in the early stages of starting a new project and choosing a domain name. I aim to build this in the open so I thought I'd start with asking for your opinion on a domain name - I've narrowed it down to either:
twitkit.com or twitmate.com
The product is going to be a Twitter management service where I fully manage Twitter accounts for customers including creating Tweets, choosing images...

It's been a couple of years since I first launched Downtime Monkey and we've consistently added new features to change from a simple downtime alert app to a complete website monitoring service.
I can honestly say that I now believe Downtime Monkey is the best website monitoring service available with regard to the overall package, user experience and value.
Some more details:

I came across this today when looking for a range of colours to match a logo. There are lots of colour palette collections out there. However, this saved a bunch of time looking through palettes. It is also easier/quicker to use than a lot of other colour combination tools.

Easy to use compatible color finder
Very quick and easy to use - it's a web app so no installation needed and it doesn't require registration. Simply add a hex code of the colour you want to match, choose a 'harmony' (i.e. the type of match you would like) and it generates a colour scheme.

We looked into solutions with hosting providers and other web monitoring services but nothing did quite what we...
