I've been working on this for the last couple weeks, let me know what you think. It's written in Node.JS, served using nginx, and I'm using Redis to store the data.

Very intuitive, slick and fast UI!

  Thanks, I spent a lot of time speeding up the search feature. I still find it a bit difficult to visually scan the results list, particularly at full length, but I'm hoping the various filtering options help with that.

    I was surprised that the domains at the top were control-clickable. It would be much more clear if there was just a checkbox below each one so that it's clear they are checkboxes. Idea for display: Make it a table, with words down the left and domains across the top: | word | .bz | .nu | .us | | ant | ✓ | | | | awe | ✓ | ✓ | | | ...and so on

Any chance that is open source or at least you'd be willing to post a bit of a tutorial on your setup, on getting that up with node, nginx and redis? Maybe you're using containers? Nice job!

Would like to point out that when you click on the link that takes you to godaddy you are given a choice of alternate domains in other TLD's. So when I clicked on cry.bz it gave me the ability to "backorder" cry.com for $20.98 I'd like to point out to anyone not familiar with the business what ripoff this is. That is to suggest that there is a waiting list for any 3 letter .com and that you can simply pay $20.98 and get on that list. (Same with .net for that matter). What's ironic is that particular domain cry.com is owned by a seller that won't sell really any domain for anything but an exorbitant price. (Way of of wack with whatever people think "ordinary" domain sellers do.) So this is even more of a waste of money. Once again this isn't a comment on the site but on anyone who ends up at godaddy by using the site. (And of course since we are talking 3 letter domains there will be many who do this). Separately I'm not a proponent of using any TLD such as .bz, .us etc. My opinion from being in this business for 17 years.

  Likewise, I came across Randomainer (www.randomainer.com) which lists premium domains on the lower half of the page, below their available invented domain names. If the premium domains aren't squatted on/for sale, they have no price attached, and if you click on any one with no price it takes you to a 3rd party site (sedo.com) to "make an offer" on it. So I went to GoDaddy out of curiosity and found the domain I could "make an offer on" for the base price (on GD). Sneaky buggers

    That literally made me laugh out loud! I was gonna go with chainsaw.io with the tagline "fast, fun, but can fuck you up", but it was already taken!
