Is there a way to set the domain name used for my ESP based AP server? That is, rather than typing in the IP address 192.168.4.1 or whatever, the user would type some name like "ESPGadget.net"? Thanks for any tips.

You need to add mDNS service to your ESP. (BTW, mDNS suffix is always ".local", so "ESPGadget.local")
But on client side you will need some mDNS too, on Linux, it is already present with Avahi.
On Windows, you will need to install Bonjour, while on Android, it may not work at all.
