#2I bought a few .ai domains in 2017 for 70 bucks each. Very basic ones, single word 5 letters or less. Most are worth north of 25k now. Funny thing is I almost let them expire

#3.studio? Not worth the registration cost.

#4I really like the one I found for the job tracking platform I'm building: https://rolepad.com. Short, memorable and descriptive. In the past I owned the domain name matching my last name, but never ended up setting up email hosting with it and let it go. Also at one point I bought the domain name that in the mid-90s hosted an online multiplayer trivia game I was addicted to (cosmoasis.com). Was going to rebuild it since the player community is still around, but never got around to it, and let it go as well.

#5I thought nad27.net was pretty clever when I was a 27 year old GIS specialist/application developer. My name backwards is nad.

#6I own the dot coms for my name and my kids and most of my nieces and nephews.
Tasklater.com and magazinejobs.com are probably my best domains. Defunct side projects on both.

How is rolepad doing? I remembered you saying you were scoping out what the paid product was going to be with employers

Hey, thanks for remembering! It's been slow-going, but I'm getting close to finishing the employer-side pre-MVP (table-stakes functionality that I can build upon later). For now pushing in the direction of improving upon the communications between the hiring team (whether at employer or third-party recruiter) and the candidate. The email-based back-and-forth leaves a lot to be desired, and results in frequent ghosting on all the sides. Tackling that for now. Got tons of ideas and have had a good uptake on the candidate side, now need to show value for the hiring teams.

#10I had kar.ai for a few years before the AI craze started.
It was at the regular price, I bought it from 101domains.
I let it expire around April 2019, thinking it was not a cool tld.
Couldn't expect my grandma/non-tech friend to remember ".ai". Right!??
Not sure how much it would be worth today, but definitely more than what I paid.
