Domain check
This usually takes about 2 seconds. RDAP catches the case where a domain is registered but currently has no nameservers (expired-redemption, parked, just-registered).
Every phonic in the name carries weight. Here's what each segment does — read left to right.
resilience, abrasive material
Real word — earthy, determined. Compounds well: Gritify, Gritlab.
e.g. Grit (Angela Duckworth) · Gritty
English root
Versatile, soft-or-hard depending on next vowel
C is two letters in disguise. CA/CO/CU = K-energy (Coca-Cola, Cisco, CapCut). CE/CI = S-energy (Cellular, Citi). Brands lean one way or the other deliberately.
e.g. Coca-Cola · Cisco · Canva · Calm · CapCut
Confident, open, expansive
A opens the mouth wide. Brands starting with A feel approachable and confident — Amazon, Apple, Asana, Adobe, Atlassian. The open vowel makes a name feel inclusive and platform-like.
e.g. Amazon · Apple · Asana · Adobe · Atlassian
Sharp, crisp, bright
K is the bouba/kiki experiment's spiky letter. Kodak, Krispy, Kindle. Pairs well with the bouba/kiki rule (cross-cultural — K reads as 'pointy' across languages).
e.g. Kodak · Kindle · Krispy Kreme · Klarna · Klaviyo
Bright, technological, small/precise
E reads as 'electronic' to a generation raised on e-commerce. eBay, Etsy, Excel. Front vowels make things feel small and quick.
e.g. eBay · Etsy · Excel · Edison · Equinox

First-letter feeling
G-onset: Generative, grounded, growth
G has weight without aggression. Google's double-G is famously childish-fun and warm. Glossier slips on the G; Granola buries it. Pairs well with -oo for bouba roundness.
Examples: Google · Glossier · Granola · GitHub · Genesis

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with gritcakephp.com. The function hashes the SLD against our bloom
filter (built daily from the .com zone). Step 2 (only if step 1 said
"not in zone"): GET /api/rdap?domain=gritcakephp.com which HEADs
VeriSign's RDAP endpoint to confirm whether the domain is held at the
registry without active nameservers. Neither step logs your query.
