Case Study: How Little Stack Found the Perfect Domain for a Big Literary Vision

Little Stack, a fiction discovery platform for voracious readers, used Atom.com to search industry-relevant keywords and found a domain that became the foundation for their brand identity.

“Atom.com proved to be a superior resource. The excellent search tool allowed for the exploration of keywords outside our original scope.” — Marc Bachrach, Little Stack Co-founder

Brand Story

Little Stack is a warm and welcoming platform built for readers. It helps users build a personal library, get updates on new releases from both indie and traditional authors, and manage their reading lists—all from a clean, intuitive interface. The brand’s audience is predominantly female, aged 29–60, and passionate about fiction.

What sets Little Stack apart is its mission: to help readers find great books and authors find new fans. As their co-founder Marc Bachrach put it: “We want to be the best organized library of indie, small press and traditional works of fiction—one ‘little stack’ at a time.”


The Challenge

The original concept of a powerful, database-driven directory of fiction was there, but the UI was unformed and not ready for market. The biggest missing piece? A name that captured their clarity-focused brand and would resonate with book lovers.

Even as the database and backend matured, the team spent months searching for a name that would do justice to their long-term vision. Working with multiple brokers led to dead ends. They needed a short, memorable .com that felt instantly warm and brandable, but nothing clicked.


The Solution

Enter Atom.com. The team searched literary keywords such as book, novel, literary, library, and reader, and used Atom’s filtering tools to browse options outside their original scope. That’s when they found LittleStack.com.

“After working with similar domain-brokering websites, Atom.com proved to be a superior resource,” said the team. “The excellent search tool allowed for the exploration of keywords outside our original scope. Taking those new options and matching them to relevant domains… was an outstanding experience.”

Securing the domain wasn’t immediate, but Atom streamlined the final acquisition.


The Results

The domain quickly proved invaluable, providing a clear brand platform that co-founder Jennifer Shiun felt was key to their beta success. The site’s aesthetic and user experience were shaped around the name. As the brand message became clearer, user feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

“Could our domain be any more perfect?” — 
Jennifer Shun, Little Stack Co-founder.

By the time the product hit beta, the domain was already a competitive edge.


Looking Ahead

As Little Stack moves toward a full public launch in fall 2025, the team credits their domain name with helping establish early trust and enthusiasm. Their long-term goal is simple but ambitious: to become the go-to online library for discovering fiction, especially from indie and small-press authors.

And with LittleStack.com, they’ve laid the perfect foundation to get there.
