As mentioned in the "What I'd tell myself about startups..." post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9333330), everyone has a set of unused domain names. What are yours, and what did you plan to do with them?

Here are mine.

  translateteam.com - javascript based copy/translation editor
  forhipsters.com - news site for trendy things
  bootstrapcms.com - drag n drop cms based on bootstrap
  10printhello.com - for my programming blog
  globaldrugwar.com - Stringer Bell simulator
  apinest.com - programmable http proxy a la cloudflare
  questiondash.com / surveydash.com - a surveymokeylike
  dropify.net - a dropbox PAAS

Interested if you have any better ideas for any of them!

worst investment i made was "riendfeed.com", because back then I believed what I read in TechCrunch.

adaptance.com — some sort of platform for something

articlefeedback.com — wanted to build a system for getting feedback about your writing, sort of crowdsourced editing

cureta.com — no idea

logicist.com — logic, or something

townless.com — for nomads, or some such

Used to have way more, but I've been culling them down the past few years.

Those two are totally contradictory.
