#213Honestly I think domain names should be the least of your worries when building something. You can always add a "get" prefix or "app" suffix (or a bunch of other options). If you are sold on a company name then by all means, grab the domain but don't confuse "buying a domain" with "making actual progress". When I was younger I used to snap up domain names for every little idea I had. I executed on less than 1% of tho…
I am making an Open Source CMS optimized for the cloud, in .NET. I got the domain cloudy.net. Needless to say I'm pretty stoked!

#214Should be possible to expand the gz file a bit at a time in the Ruby script? Would prefer that since I don't have the space available.

#215Here is dirty little secret:
Barely anyone types addresses manually these days.
Don't stress about it that much :)

Having the actual .com domain for your business signalise quality and authenticity, difficult to imagine Amazon having getamazon.com. That being said, I also spend many (good hours) dreaming away while buying all sorts of domain names for my fictitious startups. I found that when using the startup niche as suffix or prefix, the domain is sometimes available. Had plenty of luck buying "git-what-ever".com domains, like…
Do only us old farts remember the canonical example of having to buy your .com after you've made it very valuable? [0]

#217Alternatively, use instantdomainsearch.com (disclosure, I'm the CTO), which packages most of these things up in a fast web interface and also enables searching in a bunch of other TLDs.
I like your site, but are you marking prices up massively?
A url in the domain search took me to a purchase page for $99/yr. I see the same domain on Hover for $14.... Are you bundling a bunch of additional services or something?

#218Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thought no one would notice the orgasmatron5000 eh? I’m onto you. My family once manufactured a sex toy that was popular enough for someone to quit their job, so that brought back memories. Sadly the popularity dried up when their YouTube video stopped being recommended as much. It was a real DaVinci-workshop type operation. I’m still amazed how much logistics went into it. Also art ability and sculpting. You have to…
Are you saying that the product sold enough so that someone involved could quit their job to produce it, or that someone enjoyed the product enough that they decided to go all in on using it?
The former. They were a single-income household at the time, so it was a big decision. But they sensed that it was their only chance to get wealthy, so they went for it. I really respect that.
It's unfortunate it didn't work out, but that's life. They regretted leaving their job and ended up losing the family house, but they recovered after a time. They're now in a job they like renting a house they like.
The molds were the heart and soul of the project, since they were the only irreplaceable component. They ended up throwing those into a dumpster. As a final twist, a family friend happened to be working at the trash center and spotted the molds as they were coming through. So even when they were trying to get rid of it like it was a monkey's paw, it still didn't go out without being noticed one last time.
One of ya'll should try your hand at it. As with programming, the problems are tough but solvable (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31667798) and as far as I know there's still nothing like it on the market, with plenty of demand.
At one point they were selling multiple color varieties, and people would buy all three colors. I asked if there was any other difference, and he said nope, just color added via dye. So there's a real opportunity for an enterprising sculptor that happens to be reading this.
(I don't know much else and I do ML nowadays, so good luck! But feel free to DM for advice I guess. https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/dragon-skin/ was part of the materials they used, but apparently it was too rigid for the skin. It was for internal support.)
Re: Find a good available .com domain
#219But is it a good one? There are better methods for finding an actually good domain name, you just have to think outside the box and come up with new ideas constantly. For example these domains should be available wink wink : editormag.com geekyglossary.com infiniteiterator.com infographics365.com minutequestions.com museumology.com onlinehistorian.com webdesigndaily.com donateyourcomputerpower.com lazysites.com scorc…
Dang dude, love your creativity! Let me know if I can contact you for some personalized domain suggestions for ideas I have but cannot come up with domain names for?

#220I stumbled across namy.ai on HN a while back and found it quite useful. No affiliation, it just worked well for me.
