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.
family, similarity
Compact CVC — community / familial register. Kindle = kin + -dle for warm kindling-fire metaphor.
e.g. Kindle · Kin Insurance · Kindred
English root
Deep, you, communal
U is communal — Uber, YouTube, Yum!. Also reads as 'you' in product brands (Unsplash, Udemy).
e.g. Uber · YouTube · Udemy · Unilever · Unsplash

Small, precise, individual
I is the smallest character on the keyboard. Used for personal/lightweight brands (Instagram, iPhone). Apple's i-prefix is the modern naming canon. Front-vowel I makes things feel sharp and small.
e.g. iPhone · Instagram · Intel · Imgur
Fast, crisp, innovation
X is the innovation letter. From X-ray to Tesla Model X, X-prefix signals 'next-generation'. Also a great suffix — Brex, Latex, FedEx, Netflix. The KS-cluster makes any name feel sharper.
e.g. Xerox · Xbox · Tesla Model X · Netflix · Brex
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
Liquid, lifting, lyrical
L glides. The most liquid letter. Lyft, Linear, Lululemon, Loom. Brands that want to feel fluid or effortless start with L.
e.g. Lyft · Linear · Loom · Lululemon · Lego

First-letter feeling
K-onset: 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).
Examples: Kodak · Kindle · Krispy Kreme · Klarna · Klaviyo · Kraft

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with kinudpixel.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=kinudpixel.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.
