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?!

I apologize for the faulty user experience - I gotta admit, the file structure for my app is rather rudimentary, as this was my first time building a Flask app and I didn't really put much thought into file structuring.

I'll make note of this and maybe make some changes to this in future versions of the app. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

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.

I cannot tell you how much I love tld-list and now wee. As a recovering domain addict, I've spent an unreasonable amount of time on your sites. :)

For domain hunting, tld-list is a godsend. Thank you so much for this!

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 -…

The ability to simply filter by length would be awesome. Sometimes you just want to find something on the shortest side possible, that isn't a jumble of letters.

Makes sense! I'll have to figure out a way to incorporate that because my current code structure is kind weird, but when I do I'll let you know! Feel free to sign up for the newsletter so I can notify you when that feature is ready! :D

I'd love to see https://porkbun.com added as a domain option. Consistently the cheapest registrar for me, at least for the first year (example, most .coms for me are around: 4.15 / year, renews at $8.56)

I've been getting a ton of requests for Porkbun so I'll definitely consider adding it there! Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Does a domain have to live on Namecheap / Godaddy to get looked at? My domains are on Google Domains.

That depends - what are the TLDs for your domains?

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…

I really like that idea! And yes, I'm actually considering adding a "Featured Listings" section where you can list your domains - feel free to sign up on the newsletter and I'll let you know when it's ready! :D

I bought one for an app... that I haven't even started building. I feel like a straight up squatter now :( but seriously who is going to visit your site when the domain is name is myawesomeapp2020.com might as well purchase the domain in advance right?

Hahaha yeah, I used to buy a bunch of domains thinking that I was gonna do something with them only to end up letting them expire in a year :'( But don't worry, you'll find a viable business idea/business model for it soon, I believe in you!

when I make it I'll remember you, my first supporter!

this is cool, more filtering would be useful (on tld length, whether it's a word). Interesting that ca.rs is still available and pretty cheap. Funnily, sa.rs is also available. pe.pe too, and oh.ms.

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

That filter hasn't been implemented yet, it's on the TODO list [0].

The best I can currently offer is the "Label is Word" column that identifies in which languages the label is considered a word or letter.
