Hey everyone! Maker of One Word Domains here. I recently launched this on Product Hunt and got some pretty good feedback there and was looking forward to launching it on Hacker News as well but oh well, someone did it for me To give you guys some backstory, I was dabbling around with Flask the other day and decided to build something that I would’ve loved to use when I was trying to find a good name for my startup -…

Hi there,

I have what I think is a great domain, elope.to.

The idea was to build an elopement app that sold elopement packages to various destinations, working with existing service providers in those locales (most wedding photographers provide elopement packages).

Eg: elope.to/tahiti, elope.to/seychelles, elope.to/lasvegas

I don't think I'll get the time to build it, so am considering selling.

Which brings me to my point... I couldn't find a way to list it on your site.

The fact that you can't open any of the sub links in new tabs (1 domain left, notify me) is just so damn frustrating. why make this as some stupid one page app?!

This tool is pretty cool, would be helpful to see prices I guess too. A table format would be easier to navigate. I recently found a TLD that seems underused and has one "total" word potential (chars incl tld as a single word) > .ge Also can I recommend putting links to other domain providers like porkbun, their platform is super usable and prices are decent.

You might take a look at wee.domains [0] - it's a big table of short available domains from the most popular TLDs. It has pricing from a variety of registrars too. [0] https://wee.domains Disclaimer: i made it.

This seems pretty useful, but I’m having trouble with the filters- how can I find “one word domains”?

Thanks OP. Just picked up impartial.app - might try a just-for-fun side project and hook it into some sort a decision making algo and/or crowd-sourced vote. Premise: User can't decide something and must enter N possible options, then have the app pick the winner. Twist: The user doesn't ever define the problem, just potential choices. a) $20,000 b) Snowball it c) Propose d) Cupertino Impartial.app says: __________

Impartial.app says: yes

I'm considering adding a few other domain registrars like Domain.com, Porkbun, and Iwantmyname. Which one would you recommend to add first?

Namecheap probably got rid of privacy upsells because they had to. Namesilo is my favorite. They've had whois guard privacy since at least 2017.

Namesilo is a good option - I'll think about adding it to the mix. Thanks for the suggestion!

I think much more highly of a two- or three-word .com than a one-word .{co,ai,io,...} These are clever but I wouldn't call them good.

Yup! As I mentioned in a previous comment, I'm thinking of training a deep learning model on the top 10,000 startup names and use it to generate available .com domain names that could potentially be in the format of a two-word/three-word domains too! Not sure how feasible this is gonna be but I'm definitely gonna give it a try!
