Some newer TLDs like .dev or .app have a tiered pricing structure. So it becomes less economically feasible to squat the best names. They also released them in stages when the TLD …

Interesting question! Well no one has complained so far, but I should definitely run them all through Google Translate to see. I could see this happening quite easily. The one issu…

Well well, I did not know that.. Thanks for expanding my vocab! Maybe a better example would have been the similar Zuora!

One of my hobbies is the diametric opposite of this approach, I enjoy trawling domain auctions for short .coms that don't include any dictionary words but still sound fun. I love n…

I can confirm the VAT handling works really well and I even have customers thank me for supporting VAT properly. Particularly EU customers that have higher expectations for this co…

This is a great initiative. Interestingly, manual washing machines like this were briefly an incredibly hot commodity in even wealthy suburbs in my home city Cape Town, SA during t…

I've actually just gone through the process of integrating my currency API [1] with Micro. I really liked the idea for this service and actually just emailed them asking your exact…
