BID Name Checker — Domain, GitHub, Trademark for Founders

Naming your next startup, side project, or SaaS? Stop opening twelve tabs. BID Name Checker turns the most tedious part of starting something new into a single click. Type a candidate name, and in under a second you see: ✓ Domain availability across .com, .io, .co, .ai, and .app ✓ Whether the GitHub org or username is free ✓ A direct USPTO trademark search link ✓ Whether someone has already built a similar idea (matched against the Business Ideas Database) No accounts. No subscriptions. No keys. Everything runs locally in your browser against free public APIs. WHO IT'S FOR - Indie hackers naming their next product - Solo founders brainstorming domain options - Builders who want to sanity-check a name before they fall in love with it - Anyone tired of the open-twelve-tabs naming ritual HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the BID icon in your toolbar 2. Type or paste a product name (just the name — no .com needed) 3. See domain, GitHub, and trademark status, plus any overlapping ideas already in the BID database WHAT IT DOESN'T DO - No tracking, no analytics, no cookies - No background scripts running on every page - No data sent to any server we run, except an anonymous query to businessideasdb.com to check for idea matches - No paid tier, no upsell pop-ups ABOUT BID The Business Ideas Database (businessideasdb.com) is a curated library of validated business ideas sourced from real Reddit pain points, App Store gaps, and keyword demand data. Updated weekly. This extension is free and works standalone — but if you want validated ideas with real proof, that's where to look. PRIVACY The extension calls three public APIs: - dns.google for domain availability via DNS-over-HTTPS - api.github.com for GitHub username availability - businessideasdb.com/api/ideas/match for idea overlap (read-only, no auth) USPTO is opened as a deep link only, no API call. No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted. Full privacy policy at businessideasdb.com/privacy-policy.
