Go forth and prosper #1

I want to offer some new features:

Come up with potential domain names as soon as the "idea" is generated (you can make money as an affiliate)
Check social media handle availability on many services for a fee of $1
Import descriptions from some startup aggregator, potentially running them through some machine learning algorithm to edit the text

Cool, I'll give some of these a try. How would I go about generating names?

@Mechasparrow so there are some common techniques, but this one seems to be feasible:

Summarize each category with just a single word (and have 2-3 different single word summaries for each category), and prepend this category word with another word (or a part of a word) that you currently show as the "for" group.

Example, the following can be summarized as "NewsBuilder" or "NewsMaker" :

Alright so basically I just need to do some Natural language processing.

@Mechasparrow not necessarily but of course you could. As an MVP in my opinion you could simply create additional entries in the table that summarize each category and just pick from that data store randomly. For example check this repo: https://github.com/soulwire/WTFEngine Does that make sense?

Yes. It does make sense.
