#2Ha. So here it goes I guess, I’ve been working on this pretty consistently for too long now (backend mainly).
Inspiration for the project was based off one I made over half a decade ago. And I gratefully got recognized on HN for it! I saw (my) username that posted it, tried a few of my go-to password ’s, and boom, I still got it :)
Here was the thread for a trip down memory lane https://web.archive.org/web/20160322215116/https://news.ycom...
And the new one is called DecentDrops.com - Would have totally used DomainInferno again but looks like some squatter had it, hey that’s what I get for neglecting I guess. Still not sure why.. Updated daily. Sorry I’m bad about rambling and don’t want to do a (bigger) wall of text but if you’ve got questions shoot em!

#3Useful service, congrats on the launch. Do 4 character domains basically never drop or why is the minimum length 5?

#4This is neat.
After browsing for several pages, I'm yet to find something that is a decent name.
In a similar space, I really like https://park.io

#5a) Really awesomely cool!
b) Kinda sad to read all those names and think that someone once thought, 'hey, this could be my baby.' Sure, I imagine a bunch of them were just hoovered up by domain squatters, but at least a few of them are failed sites, right? … right?

That thread still works! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9025800.
I didn't see any differences with the archive.org page. It would be interesting if there were some.

w.r.t. b), it looks like you can figure out which were legitimate sites using the "Insight" column!

I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at domain names over the years. This is going to cost future me hours. Thanks for sharing!

If you agree "naming is hard", then most names are by definition pretty bad... At best, this list is random, and at worst it's the set of terrible names people gave up on and allowed to expire

#10This is great, but most of these don't seem that pronounceable to me.
