Do you own a domain name without a purpose? Let me give you a project for it!

codersplayground.co.uk

• CodePen alternative (like you said)
• The site for a programming themed playground for kids
• Site for learning codes like Morse or the Ceasar Cipher
• Call of duty-ers playground?

db20.org.uk

• Some sort of database hosting?
• A site which can detect how many decibels any sound from the microphone is
• All dragon ball episodes of 2020?
• Top 20 news items? (daily bulletin)
• The news from the Daily Bugle which was written on the 20th?

codersplayground.co.uk

A Forem Community (Installing Forem is also a challenge! XD) + Code Challenges site. Focused on Javascript, CSS, PHP, Angular, React, etc

db20.org.uk

Top 20 items?

That is really interesting (just spent a couple of minutes salivating over your baking!)

So my ideas:-

• A website that sells "do it yourself" bread kits for artisan breads you can make at home.
• You build a mini dam across a local river, add a water wheel and use the resulting power to grind flour to make bread that you then bake. (A Dam Bakes Bread). You live stream (pun intended) every week no matter what the weather.
• You create a resource that helps restaurant owners, confectioners and bakers monetise their cooking and baking skills (playing on "bread" being "money")!

I might have some better ones in me so let me have a think!

I can think of a couple batter uses for it 😂

That is one of those names that makes you just go - yes, weird but wonderful name!

• You create a game like Dr Nim but you use monkeys as the switches and bananas instead of balls
• similar to htmlheaven.com and htmlhell.com you showcase some of the most atrocious and most incredible monkey patching across JavaScript, Python etc.
• You provide merch for tech streamers, but only in black and white to keep it binary!
• People can sponsor a monkey in a wildlife sanctuary, you get a NFT with a link to their picture in it and you can only pay in Etherium or Bitcoin.
• Insterad of head or tails you go to binarymonkey.io and feed the monkey a virtual banana for a decision. You can monetise it by turning it into a magic 8 ball or a meme generator.

Ok here we go!

• moon is a language similar to braille so you could create a service that converts text into moon that you then print. Businesses utilise you for their blind customers needs.
• Similar to how people can buy stars you let people buy moons discovered around other planets as presents.
• A website with lots of free code, libraries and assets, the catch is you can only access the site when it is a full moon.
• A website that lets you enter your code for linting and error checking. If it is great you get an "over the moon" message an animation, if it is awful you get someone pulling a "moony" at you and an offensive message!
• You develop a type face that consists entirely of different moons, it can be used instead of lorem ipsum for prototyping.
• You point a telescope at the moon and analyse the resulting image in super high detail, infra red etc. You then use this to create a true random number generator based on the noise in the picture etc. and sell it to casinos and other people who need truly random numbers.

Ohhhh, love that one.

I've scooped up so many .codes.
My main site is in fact odd.codes. It's just a hub for all my outside stuff right now, but I'm overhauling it big time and will upload the revamped version all at once.

I don't know if you've heard of moonscript, but it's a neat branch on Lua. Don't know how they didn't grab that one!

OK so these are some tough ones, I doubt I will come up with a sensible one but let's see!

dail.one

• You create custom voicemail answer machine messages for people that are voiced by "Dail", a virtual AI, they are free, but if anyone ever needs support your whole phone tree requires you to press 1 varying amounts of times to get to the right department (Dial one!).
• A URL shortener that only works for Daily Mail articles published on the 1st of the month.
• You create a course called "Digital Access for Independent Living", you sell it to governments to get older people and vulnerable people online to help towards inclusivity goals.

liferay

• You have a sunflower in a blacked out room. People send positive tweets to an account and every tweet adds 30 seconds to a UV light run time to give the plant some much needed "life rays".
• A site dedicated to preserving the habitats of Stingrays and reintroducing them into the wild.
• A site where there is a 24 hour feed watching a guy called Ray. Think Truman show!
• A live feed of the sun with motivational messages popping up on the screen on how to live a healthy life.
• Liferay.space - you set up a super powerful laser that people can control remotely. They can point it at a planet (solar system) using a star chart and send a message in morse code to that planet to see if you get a response.

I have to admit, I struggled as they are both super specific lol, I will see if I come up with a better idea as I am not happy with these yet!

Interesting

• using Docker to host instances of algorithms to farm crypto currency
• a load of high stake poker players (whales) who aren’t very good allow people to play against them with the winnings going to charities
• annual event where everyone dresses up in whale costumes and help local farmers during picking season.
• buy shares in a whaling company as part of a cooperative, once you have enough money to take a majority share you repurpose the whaling ships into produce transportation ships to help farmers rather than whale fishing.

I am not doing very well with this one either it seems!

The problem here is that most of these seem like very wholesome domains.

But I suppose I can ruin some of them for you! 🤣:

• Class.africa - premade classes for all Programming languages that support Classes. All it does is output "Africa is a Continent not a Country..."
• who.ng - You can start the Nigerian Doctor Who fan club
• plus.ng - all you sell is one decal, but at bigger and bigger sizes every time it is bought. The decal is simply a plus symbol and the phrase "That is a big plus". Eventually it scales to the size of a building and people bid on the next size up to out meme each other / show their support. All proceeds go to a suitable charity that has a positive impact within Nigeria.
• code.ng - I mean, this has to be a job portal / freelancer network for developers in Nigeria!

Stanlaw.com

• Law courses from Stanford University online for all to see for free
• You create a Machine Learning platform that ingests only Eminem tracks and Law books. Then people can pay to get legal advice from "Stan" in the form of a rap.
• You become a specialist in tanning booths and spray tan litigation. "Spray Tan Law!"

BTC Turks

• A mail delivery service for Thanks Giving / Christmas Turkeys, but you can only pay in Crypto.
• A website that converts currencies and shows currency exchange rates, but every time you do a conversion it also shows the value in Turkish Lira and Bitcoin and allows you to invest in either!

nord-streams

• You name and shame streamers who tell you that Nord VPN will keep you safe online (not those who explain it properly, those who say it makes things more secure!)!
• You start a site dedicated to streams about rare diseases - partnered with the National Organisation for Rare Diseases.
• You provide maps to all the best stream fishing places in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden (Nordic Streams!)

Throwouterror.com

• a site where people boast about things they found “dumpster diving” that were worth a fortune and rub it in the faces of the people who threw it out in error 😜
• a site where developers can showcase the worst error messages they have ever seen and how completely unhelpful they are.
• Throwouterror is a new error reporting library that can broadcast errors securely to multiple API endpoints for different processing requirements.
• a sports clip site where you showcase wrong calls by referees calling things “out” when they were “in”.

Malware.design

• “cyber security” game where you level up a computer virus (think plague.inc) and have to infect the world!
• epic custom geek and tech merch (Mal Wear)
• A site for architects working in Malwa in India who only do redesigns!
• you start an ethical hacking and penetration testing company?

malware.design could just be a page where you go "poof, designed a malware just for you <3" or something, as a joke site

Then I think you should:

• start a blog on hashnode
• write amazingly high quality content
• dominate the tech space by the time you are 18.

👍😜

Right I will focus on dilutewater.xyz then!

• homeopathy website (but you explain how homeopathy is a load of rubbish then redirect people to an actual online pharmacy for a commission)
• you start a band that plays music under a waterfall on a couple of old string instruments (Di(2) Lute)
• if you don’t mind questionable marketing You become the next “smart water” and market that your water is more wet than other water as it is more diluted.
• you turn a pickup truck into a herb garden and sell speciality herb mixes to Australians that are dried and just neeed rehydrating (Dil(herb) Ute(Utility vehicle is AUS))

Yeah, I went silly with all of them (except the two lutes idea, could be the next 2 Cellos! 🤣

• you start a slot machine repair business that fixes “one armed bandits”!
• on a similar though path you review slot machines from either a casino perspective (revenue, reliability, customer satisfaction etc.) or from a player perspective (payout rate, fun, etc)
• 8 bit fighter game like original Street Fighter but set in the Wild West.
• “Top Trumps” but for crooks and thieves who were renowned for fighting, based on real outlaws from history! Proceeds go to keeping young offenders out of jail.

Well as most of these are NSFW I think I will have to be creative here and fly close to the line a bit!

• catgirl.design - A very out there brand of clothing (probably ideal for e-thots!) that has the slogan "nice pussy" and the logo of a cat-girl. (I know this isn't a catgirl but money is money!)
• femboy.us - tips and tricks for people who identify as femboys to improve their femininity and a community forum!
• cock.trade - an online market where farmers can advertise their prized roosters and offer them out for impregnating hens - similar to bull breeding!
• racist.live - a serious channel where people can ask the questions they want to ask but are afraid people would think are rascist. "Do black people...", "are white people...". Then panel members can give a real education on what is stereotyping and what is true etc. A moderators nightmare and probably not suitable for any Social Media ToC, but could be an awesome resource to get past the "you can't ask that" fear people have that stops them understanding each other!

Unfortunately I think any other ideas would not be suitable for DEV! 🤣 With that being said I imagine you could build a nice interconnected community with some of these domains.

catgirl design is suitable for NFT project.
