Earlyname - Get rare, original usernames on new platforms.

by•

Ever wanted a short twitter handle like @tom or @ryan? Only the earliest adopters got these.
Earlyname lets you track your ideal username. Each month we send you a list of new apps, games and websites, and check if your username is available to claim.

Even the domain is spot on. How did you get the earlyname.com domain? :) clever

@danirogerc Haha thank you, I love someone who also appreciates a good domain name. It was just available on Google Domains for $10 so I snapped it up - seemed quite appropriate for what I wanted to achieve!

@danirogerc @tinyprojects I love this! I believe flipping domains can be a bit challenging, but being an early bird to new social networks is amazing. for the first time in my life I got my first name as a username thanks to you haha. Stoked!

Hey Product Hunt! I'm obsessed with usernames. I'm always trying out new apps, games & websites on Product Hunt so I can snap up my name @ben as a handle, just in case the product gets big. Therefore, I created a product that lets you track your ideal username on new platforms. Every month I'll email you a list of the hottest undiscovered apps, websites and games, and tell you if your handle is available so you can go out and claim it. Its great fun trying out new products, and you can show off your ability to spot trends before anyone else. Who knows, maybe you'll be signing up to the next Tik Tok, Snap or Gram without even realising. OG usernames can go for big bucks 🤑 I made Earlyname as part of my year long Tiny Projects mission: https://tinyprojects.dev

What happens if two users try to reserve the same auto-reserve name? Very curious how that will go. Super neat concept!

@0xhaas Thank you Jonathon! With the free version it works on a first-come, first-serve basis to claim your name. However, if two users are claiming the same name on paid version I'll shoot them an email asking if they want to change it or cancel.
