Output

greatVibe.local vs greatVibe:local

✓ Recommendation: greatVibe.local

I think greatVibe.local is the better choice. Here's why:

Arguments for .local

  • Familiar convention — .local is the established TLD for local network resources (mDNS/Bonjour uses it, e.g., myprinter.local)
  • Developer intuition — Engineers immediately recognize .local as "this is the local/dev version"
  • URL-like readability — Feels like a natural domain: greatVibe.local vs greatVibe.prod
  • Consistent with localhost — Pairs naturally with localhost, .local, .dev

Arguments for :local

  • Port-like syntax — Colon evokes localhost:8080 style
  • Docker-ish — Resembles image tags like nginx:latest
  • Namespace separator — More programmatic feel

Visual Comparison

Option A: greatVibe.local

Option B: greatVibe:local

Bottom Line

greatVibe.local reads more naturally and leverages an established convention that developers already understand. The dot separator is also easier to parse visually and feels less "techy" — which aligns better with the friendly "vibe" branding.
