Are you sure? Looking at their website[1] I see:
> Highlight the most important part of a domain name in the user interface
Which is my suggestion above.
> If you are using it for something else, you are encouraged to tell us, because it helps us to assess the potential impact of changes
Which sounds cautiously supportive of additional use cases.

- tialaramex 3y agoRyan Sleevi has written about this before on Hacker News and here's his list https://github.com/sleevi/psl-problems https://github.com/sleevi/psl-problems It's definitely possible that Ryan would consider using this for HN a reasonable choice, because it's mostly cosmetic, but in general you should just not add more dependencies.
- 8organicbits 3y agoThanks, that's an interesting read. It feels pessimistic to me (understandable given all the problems) and I'm not sure it's really offering viable alternatives. For cosmetics the PSL feels like a close enough solution, and it's available today. At the very least, it looks like a good way to bootstrap a list used to decide on cosmetic styling, with manual amendments when PSL has gaps or unneeded entries Cross-thread it looks like dang is building such a list, just without the initial PSL bootstrap to get it started. I wonder if there's anything on the PSL we wouldn't want on the HN list?
