#182My domain name and social media handle search tool has been humming along nicely for 5+ years now and produces a modest amount of profit each month. https://namevine.com/ It makes money from domain name registrations it refers via affiliate links. I've been playing with the idea of adding "pro" features for a couple of years now but I worry anything that detracts from its simplicity may hurt sales.
I didn't know of your site. Very cool and useful idea. I just tried it for 'boxing' and your suggestion engine came up with quite a few .com name that are still available!
Thanks.
The domain suggestion engine was a fun component. It's not all that complicated... it really just tries a bunch of prefixes and suffixes on your keyword (plus some geo suggestions, if it can "find" you) and shows you what is (probably) available.
I've also found some gems using it as well.

#183https://onlyusedtesla.com/ $150/day around that! A used tesla marketplace.
Home page of your site appears to currently say it's free [1] - how're you making $150 a day? [1] "FREE DURING BETA: Our site is always free for buyers, but right now it’s free for sellers too."
Yup. $150 sold vehicle. Its a hassle right now its all manual i run everything off FB messenger. I do plan to flip it soon. Trying to grab a slice from cars, auto trader for used tesla listings.

#186https://www.planeol.com I wrote a subscription service that notifies IT administrators when software they have purchased is coming up on End of Life. Helps plan and manage budget and for security reasons.
Cool idea.. name could use some work.. .I read it as PlaneOl not Plan-EOL.

I don't see any issues on the server side. What exactly isn't working for you?

Just a note on twitter - it looks like there is a false positive for the availability of 'wood' There isn't an (obvious) account with that name, but twitter doesn't let me register it. I don't know if it is a blocked keyword or private or what.
I think that's because it's too short

#189I built https://localname.io as an excuse to learn some Swift and node.js.
It helps server side development by giving a publicly accessible URL to your computer.
I needed it for development and testing of mobile applications together with the backend. Also works well for webhooks.
Didn't reach the $500 yet, but it's getting there!
