Ideas for featuresz:
- add an option to subscribe to updates or newsletter - auto-generate 10 interesting domains and send them out.
- add an option to watch domains based on a combination of words, subscribe by email
- add an option to search domains based on an industry: Health, Security, Consumer, Photo, etc... - I can share more how it can be done
- add an option to support a project - donate button.
- I would probably a/b test for moving save|buy buttons next to domain, it was not clear for me that I can buy
- would be nice to have some help with synonyms and meanings of the words, should help to non-english speaking users.
Overall, I love the project, so far it has best UX compared to others I used. The challenge with your business model - people don't need to buy domain right away, but they might put your service in a bookmark and return after a while, so:
1) first marketing it a couple of more months, to grow the total number of such users.
2) I'll probably not use namecheap, and go with another registrator - can you add more options here and make money on other referral program?
3) you can add a referal link to more services, such as Launch a Landing Page
Except Product Hunt - there is beta list, indie hackers and many forums, quora and etc - and as some said, you can capitalize on blogging, twitting about successful Launch on Product Hunt, as well as do 2nd launch with major upgrades.
- mcrowe 9y agoWow! This is super helpful. Thank you so much for to ideas, genbit. Loved your feature suggestions. Definitely some things to move to the top of my list there. I'm curious about what exactly you meant about "search domains based on an industry". Could you elaborate on that? Great tips on improving the business model, too. This is super valuable for me. Thanks!
- genbit 9y agoIdea is to prebuild lists of domains that will likely to be sold - for this you can create categories, like industry or product hunt topics, and for each topic have list of words and synonyms and then use it to offer domains. User can click on topic, ex Photography, and see list of suggestions. If I want to build startup in photography, I have hard time to come up with words from which I can create domains. Also, one more suggestion, try to market it in non-tech related websites and for not tech people - they might not know how to buy domains cheaper or have preference for registrator.
