Example and practical tips

Before launching a project called “hivekit”, check that the same handle is free on GitHub, npm-style registries and social sites so your brand is consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Why are only some platforms included?

Only platforms with a public API that clearly says whether a name exists are checked, so results are not guesses.

What does “Could not check” mean?

The platform did not answer or limited our requests. Try again later or check the site directly.
