I bought a short domain name. What should I do with it?
In the spirit of 'Tiny Projects' by Ben Stokes, I'd like to start a small little side project. A while back I registered https://hb.sbs https://hb.sbs, but soon realized that I had no idea what project I wanted to make. I have a few ideas, but would love to hear if y'all have any cool project ideas.
I plan to document my process in selecting, building, and releasing the project. I'll release the project (whatever it becomes) to the public under a permissive license.
What are your thoughts? Thanks!

- cjbgkagh 5y agoIf the tinder simulator was any good why not have it act as a service to talk to women on your behalf.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoi have been trying to fancy a short domain also for myself because "why not". i found there are still 3 digit number only .org domains which is kinda surprising but not really useful. other than that, if i got a 3-4-5 word .com, that would be super nice but the market rates are extremly high

- slightknack 5y agoThanks for the link to the guidelines: I removed the 'Show HN' prefix as this project isn't anything quantifiable yet. I'll be sure to post a proper Show HN when I've got something to show.

- billpg 5y agoThe .sbs domain appears to belong to an Australian TV channel.
- lysp 5y agoFor those who are unaware. Australia has two public broadcasters. ABC - the primary public broadcaster - similar to PBS/BBC. SBS - a broadcaster focused on non-English speaking languages and international content.
