Frequently Asked Questions

Which social platforms do you support?

Currently we support GitHub and Reddit. We plan to add more platforms including Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and others based on API availability.

Why should I check social handle availability?

Brand consistency matters. If your company is called "acme", ideally you want acme.com, @acme on social platforms, and /acme on GitHub. Checking early helps you pivot if needed.

How accurate are the results?

We query platform APIs directly when available, or use profile page checks. Results are real-time and highly accurate. Some platforms may have reserved names not shown as taken.

Can I check multiple handles at once?

Currently handles are checked one at a time. We plan to add bulk checking in a future update.
