Hey guys, I launched Lean Domain Search on HackerNews in January 2012 [1] and it's safe to say that without this community's support and encouragement it wouldn't be where it is today. I can't thank you all enough. If yo

Hey guys -- a little over four years ago I launched my first web app, Domain Pigeon, on HackerNews [1]. Domain Pigeon helped you find available brandable .com domain names and was somewhat popular here back in the day. Lean Domain Search is

Hey guys, author of the post here. There is a lot of technical talent on HackerNews and if any of you would like to try to solve this mystery the help would be greatly appreciated. I've dug as far as I know how to but would still love to kn

Hey Jeremy, appreciate the feedback. The hot domain trend reports are my first hack helping visitors identify trends so that they don't have to think of them on their own. The current version is fairly simple [1], but eventually it will con

Heads up for anyone trying it right now: There are a lot of visitors on the site and the load time can be slow (upwards of a minute in some cases). It will eventually load though. I'll work on speeding it up.

Hey guys, About a year ago I launched Lean Domain Search on HackerNews [1]. For most of its existence it has focused on helping folks find available domain names for their websites. This new tool is an extension of that: it enables you to v

27 people who chose None of the above said they use Name.com which puts them at about 1.7% of the total. I probably should add them to the registrar list -- thanks for bringing it up.

Hey again, I hear what you're saying but there's just too much risk for anyone -- me, Sedo, whoever, to engage in domain name front running (the official term for what you're describing). If people knew that Sedo, for example, was registeri
