Why picked.dev?
The right name does compounding work for years. picked.dev is built from the verb developers already use when comparing tools, models, stacks, and libraries.
A verb developers use
"Picked" carries built-in meaning: curated, selected, recommended, chosen. The domain markets itself for any product that ranks, reviews, recommends, or filters.
.dev signals trust
The .dev TLD is operated by Google Registry and enforces HTTPS via the HSTS preload list. Visitors arrive on a secure connection by default. .dev is the credible top-level domain for technical audiences.
Brandable across categories
Works as a noun (Picked) or a verb (we picked the best). Slots cleanly into product naming for AI tools, IDE extensions, package indexes, dev portfolios, hiring platforms, and curated newsletters.
Strong tagline surface
Tagline-friendly out of the box: "Get picked," "Picked for developers," "Picked by the community," "What got picked this week." Useful copy lives on the name itself.
Clean history
Registered in May 2026 and held by a single owner. No prior ownership chain, no parked-domain scoring penalties, no SEO baggage to inherit. Your project starts fresh.
Built for products that choose for you
picked.dev is the natural home for anything that helps developers evaluate, rank, or shortlist. A few directions it would land instantly:
AI coding tool comparisons and leaderboards
A confidence engine, benchmark hub, or ranking site for AI developer tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, Codex CLI, Cline, Windsurf, Continue, Cody and the next wave). picked.dev reads as "the one to pick."
Curated package and library indexes
An npm, PyPI, crates, or VS Code extension recommender. A "what library should I pick" assistant. Awesome-list aggregators and category-of-the-month editorial.
Dev hiring, portfolios, and shortlists
A talent marketplace where engineers get picked for roles, or a portfolio host that helps recruiters surface the right candidates. Strong fit for hiring, mentorship, and matching products.
Newsletters, digests, and "best of" editorial
"Picked this week." "Picked by the community." A weekly recommendation digest for engineers, designers who code, indie hackers, or DevTool founders.
SaaS, IDE plugins, and CLI tools
Linters, formatters, code search, prompt libraries, agent frameworks, browser extensions for engineers. Any product whose core promise is "we pick the right thing for you."
Founders and stealth startups
A short, defensible brand for a YC, Pioneer, or solo-founder launch in the developer-tooling space. Six characters fit anywhere your brand has to live: GitHub bio, business card, Show HN, App Store.
