Man, I wrote a script to do this for .com names like 15 years ago. I probably should have bought a couple.

Ha, yeah, it'd be interesting to see which domains on there became valuable and/or successful companies.

After I made this I saw Andy Baio did a list back in 2002 too: http://waxy.org/projects/domains/

Wouldn't it be nicer if the domain names were divided alphabetically into 26 labelled pages? Right now it's 29 and difficult to browse.

This looks very nice, any chance you'll add per TLD filtering? Eg. only show me .com, .us and .io but not .ly Synonyms would also be great as others have mentioned Edit: Ah I should have clicked the TLDs :) Edit 2: And on the Desktop just noticed the filter button, sorry, that one is invisible when I view the site on my phone

There's a filter button there too where you can select the TLD you want to see.

Nicely done.

This triggering a maddening desire to make some impulse purchases. Well done.

challen.ge is my favourite from the page; it'd be great for hackathons/competitions/any sort of challenging or educational app.

I'm now up to 22 names owned thanks to this site. :P

This is like the holy grail for domain squatters - hopefully they don't read HN.

Also, mad props on the "domain hack" feature.
