    There honestly might be a greater chance of something happening to the .cc domain (like what's happening now with .io) Harvard has a much larger population than the Cocos islands, …

    Woah woah woah, unlimited saves for only $2/mo? Clearly, we need an ad-supported $0.99/mo tier with a limit of 50,000 saves per quarter (additional saves $0.01 each). $2.99/mo is w…
