<h1 id="thriftyname-5-brand-names">ThriftyName: $5 Brand Names</h1>
<p>2021-02-25</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve written anything on this blog, but for good reason - <strong>I&#8217;ve been working on a handful of side projects</strong>. I plan to drip-feed release these projects over time, but for today I&#8217;m announcing <a href="https://thrifty.name">ThriftyName</a>.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-thriftyname">What is ThriftyName?</h2>
<p>In case this post title wasn&#8217;t clear enough (or you avoided going to the product site itself) ThriftyName is a place where indie devs, start-ups or entrepreneurs can go to get a custom brand name for <strong>just $10</strong>.</p>
<p>This &#8220;service&#8221; started out as an almost gimmicky joke in my head, but once I began building out the main website I realized that this could be quite useful for cash-strapped indies. After all, not all developers <em>love</em> to sit around wasting precious time thinking about product names, when they could use that time to <em>build their product</em>.</p>
<h2 id="learn-more">Learn More</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re really interested in the reasoning behind making this project, check out the <a href="https://thrifty.name/#about">official about page on the site itself</a>. I go into a little more depth about my thought process.</p>
<h2 id="more-side-projects-incoming">More Side Projects Incoming&#8230;</h2>
<p>Like I said at the beginning of the post, keep a look out for my other side projects that I&#8217;ll be rolling out slowing. I&#8217;m still not sure of the best &#8220;method&#8221; to do this (release one every week? every month?) - but I&#8217;ll figure it out as I go along.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
