I went with `.co` for Ritza[0], but I still think `.com` helps you rank better, and is still 'assumed' by many people, and at this stage I would probably move a .com domain soon. I noticed that places like Karat[1] moved from .io to .com, so I assume that they had issues running on the .io domain. I've also written a lot on CodeMentor (.io) and it "feels" harder to get artices to rank well than on other places (e.g. DigitalOcean.com) that I have written for. Obviously there's a lot more to ranking than choice of TLD, and I do not have hard data, but I am fairly convinced that it remains an important aspect. The `.dev` TLD also seems to be gaining in popularity (e.g. CodeMentor partially moved to arc.dev). And then places like `dev.to` are I think helping get people used to non-com domains, but to me it's pretty interesting how much the '.com' TLD has maintained reputation and how the newer TLDs have not taken off as much as I expected.
