I have a few with my name in that're just parked :)
Recently purchased thisisweerd.co.uk , and thisisweird.co.uk ... to make use of my awesome Dutch name! Haha. Will be using it as my portfolio moving forward - just need to rebuild it :)
You're Weerd! π
π
It's great isn't it?! Husband demands full credit for it XD
It definitely is! :D
I really hope that you use Weerd as your primary and use weird as a redirect to it.
There is only sleepy cat.
bathbombsformoms.com
π
Quizapi is very nice !
Thanks Thomas!
It is still in beta, a lot more features are coming along!
It took me 3 months to acquire it, owner didn't want to sell and then let it expire, but I am now the proud owner of "isphpdead.com".
I haven't done anything with it yet but I was thinking to make something like Is Ruby Dead?
Definitely should!
Still got the.littlest.website.
Still don't know what I'll do with it.
Make it smaller.
π
make it simpler than x.com
check the source, it's amazing
pure poetry in code.
smallest fonts ever, lorem ipsem is fine
Haha, good question! I actually let a couple expire recently, which felt good. However, I'm still holding onto healthier.dev.
I've got some vague notion of an open-source project where developers help each other to get healthier. Doubt anything will come of it but it's an idea that interests me!
17Style.com
wavefunction.xyz
The first one I've owned since I was 17. Still under a 10 year registration until 2023. That's how long I have to come up with an idea for it. π
I used to have the .io of the second one, but those are expensive. It was just cool from a quantum theory perspective: input/output. Collapse wavefunction. Thought it'd be cool for some sort of startup incubator. Something about creativity finding success. βοΈ
Haha, I feel your pain. I just let a 13 year old domain expire: beunequaled.com
With the best will in the world, I just couldn't come up with a good purpose for it. It's a shame because originally it had pretty good traffic when it first launched but for about 10 years it was effectively dead. Decided to give up on it and focus on more realistic projects...
And I finally shipped one! \o/
sitejoy.dev
On to the next domain now :D
alexlab.me => My personal site
javascript-quiz.com/ => A PWA site with quiz about JS, great to learn and train for a job on culture
Unfinished projects:
itsfermenting.com => Should be a blog about fermentation and cooking
instruos.com/ => A website for online courses with part of a price that goes to charities
Playlist fucks isn't working for me :3
thanks for the heads up!
Got a few!
1thingaweek.com is the one project I actually followed through with and have been doing so for well over 2 years now with a simple goal: to post 1 Thing A Week!
I actually shipped kikino.dev but with a different domain, so I'll let kikino.dev expire next year. You can see the project I built over at sitejoy.dev
I'm really happy with how it turned out. Considering its an idea I've had in my head for a couple of years, I can count the amount of development time from starting to going live in days!
Lots more to do, but my advice would be to just get stuck in. You might find the project you have in mind is achievable with minimal effort or maybe you'll find out you bit of more than you could chew (which is exactly what I expected). Either way:
I also have an idea I've been kicking around for nearly 10 years, so that's next on my list to actually get on with!
I have fantastic indecision when it comes to domains so I keep hopping across the TLD spectrum. I first bought msfjarvis.me, got tired of it and then let it expire. Then moved on to msfjarvis.website for a brief period, finally settling on msfjarvis.dev. I still own msfjarvis.website to redirect people to the new domain, and it still gets about ~10% of the hits my .dev domain does so clearly the renewal was a smart choice...
Too many. π
I had this horrible habit of buying a domain name every time I had an idea for something at 2am. Now I am waiting for them all to expire.
I am happy I stopped doing this, now I put things as a subdomain and don't buy a proper domain until I have some sort of MVP and at least 1 user that I don't personally know. :)
polvcode.dev but I stopped writing for while.
zhquiz.cc -- Chinese quizzing app
rep2recall.net -- A spaced repetition app (SRS), with OpenAPI, but if people posted too much content, it might be hard to maintain.
twocastles.io - for when my sister finishes her CS we'll have a joint website
insanityboard.com - it sounds cool......
karlworks.com - personal website
burgerpimp.com
Stupid idea over a burger. Maybe one day.....
chrome.pl
P.S. Take a peek at the source. It is an exercise in manually writing a valid page, that is serving the whole content in one request-response.
(Even the SVG is manually written. With exception of Base64 encoding of course. π )
I've got puns.dev and put it to good use :D
avocados.dev is coming to a browser near you soon I hope :D
My own name as a domain name in the hopes of building a blog
amitpatel.xyz > My personal blog powered by Jekyll
sellerioapp.com > Work in progress app for marketplace sellers to monitor sales and stock
goras.org > Blog in Gujarati(a vernacular language of india) powered by jeky to post inspirational stories from books, magazines, newspaper s etc
So many! Some with old orphaned projects. Hit me up if you want to build something with any of these:
nerdswrite.com
I have my blog and a graveyard/limbo of side projects π
visualcosita.com
12dgolf.com
rapipase.com
ploywithme.com
visualcosita.com....... is that a smut site?
Not sure what you mean by smut site, but it's definitely not if going by Urban Dictionary's definition π
The domain holds my blog (
/blog) and information about me with a splash page because I wanted to keep adding other stuff in there other than just blog posts, eventually.The name itself comes from an inside joke with a professor in college ~10 years ago (he had opinions on VisualStudio and other Microsoft products). "Cosita" is the diminutive of "cosa" which means "thing" in Spanish.
Unfollowed.net
Gigabytes.co
Wvyt.com
Iigl.net
.... And many other LLLL domains
thomasbnt.fr and thomasbnt.dev for my main website.
Mrrobot.app for my Discord bot project.
I have 2 at the moment, only one of which I use. The placeholder is ignitionigloogames.studio, which I plan to do something with eventually.
My personal website:- codewithghazi
pulledfork.dev - will be a personal tech blog
"Parked":
crybit.io
teqme.com
benecoins.org
Just started working on quotato.net. Kind of excited about it even though I've hardly done anything.
I also have morgana.dev... I really should do something with that at some point.
chathula.dev
herawais.com
grandparickandmorty.com
Using everything I own... Should I be holding my kids names? Those are ones I've been tempted to hold.
That's actually a good idea! Especially for your name which sounds common.
But at the same time, I don't know if in the future it will be common to have your own first and second name as a domain name. Might be!
For Spanish people the tldr "soy" (I'm) can be interesting
Mine is jorge.aguilera.soy so can be translate as "I'm Jorge Aguilera"
I saw a meme about coronamingle, so decided to snatch up coronamingle.com
I'm actually not holding onto any. I feel weird saying that now that I know some people who do have a lot that they're holding on to. I have 1 domain, and it's because I'm using it. Lol
editorialge.com and
articleify.com It's my own blog.
I haven't bought it, but I've been watching nick.com and nick.co.uk for years. One day I will be the only nick πππ. I'm holding onto it mentally lol
ondatacenter.com :)
just two
One for me and one for the dev studio
siddharthgelera.com
barelyhuman.dev
penit.ink
codebysamgan.com
π
doesithaveabudget.com
I own 244466666.xyz.
Its one 2, tree 4, and five 6.
bbm.im
cuffl.com
bide.io
fle.me
yulo.co (.dev)
codedly.com (.net, .co)
pushing.io
rate.li
neo.cm
cmpsr.co
Probably would sell them all at some point maybe
