#12I got a preorder on reactnative.app, damn it has been sold to someone else.

#13Damn, someone already registered Postgres.app. We've been using this name since 2012 -- I hope whoever registered the domain doesn't plan on using it for something else. That would be really confusing for our users.
I guess we'll have to stick with https://postgresapp.com

Yes.
Mar 29 - May 1: Trademark holders can register .app domains (known as the "Sunrise" period).
May 1 - May 8: Anyone can register available .app domains for an extra fee (known as the "Early Access" period).
May 8 and onwards: Anyone can register available .app domains (known as “General Availability").
And they started auctioning domains starting May 1st.

You don't.

#16Hmm strange, there is ov.app but when I try my two letter combination, I first get "How exciting it's available", but trying to register it through Google Domains I get "Domains ending in .APP must be between 3 and 63 characters". What's going on?

You don't.
Indeed, and it has been shown that people don't in practice: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/jinfopoli.3.2013.0464

#18I am now the proud owner of fullofcr.app
Now all I have to do is convert it into a blockchain machine learning big data startup and I'll become a billionaire.

Try namecheap or something because two letters works there but not on Google Domains. Btw, the domain name is already taken:

Yes, I bought emails.app on 3rd may. They had different pricing based on how early you were registering as compared to public release date of 8th May.
