A referral form that checks as you type

AI narration.

The referral form asks for three things: who you are, who you told, and which of our domains you told them about. Until today it checked none of them until you pressed Submit — and a domain we do not sell, or a typo in one we do, sent you to an error page with the form gone.

What changes

Domains are chips. Type a name and press Enter, or paste a list; each one becomes a chip you can remove with a click or a Backspace. As you type, the form suggests names from our catalog, and a name that is not in it is marked at once, with the button held until you fix it. Paste a URL, a www., a trailing dot or an internationalized name in its own script and the form works out which catalog entry you meant.

Email addresses are checked in place. Both address fields say when something does not look like an address, next to the field, before you submit — and the form notices if you have named yourself as the buyer.

Nothing about the program itself changes: same 10% commission, same 60-day protection, same first-registration-wins rule. The form is just faster to get right. And with JavaScript off it still works exactly as before — comma-separated names, checked when you submit.
