24 alternatives to Domain Addicts Anonymous
Domain Addicts Anonymous: A mock-serious intervention letter for makers who compulsively shop for domains instead of ship their projects. Know the signs of Domain Addiction: - Owning more domains than you have customers - Buying .ai domains without knowing Python - Renewing parked domains out of guilt Contains a 'Wall of Shame' page to verify domain collections (I scrub domains from the DB after TXT verification). Some quick comic relief with the option to personalise and share with others who need to hear it. And yes, I built this while procrastinating on my main project. I hope it brings a…

Hi HN! I've been fed up with search results so much that I decided to make a giant blocklist to remove garbage links by using uBlacklist. I browsed other blocklists and wasn't very satisfied from what exists now; the goal of this one is to be super organized and transparent, explaining why each site was blocked via issues. Contributions welcome! Even though around 100 domains are blocked so far, I already noticed a big improvement in casual searches. You'd be surprised how some AI generated websites can dominate the #1 page on DuckDuckGo.

Overlead▲146Here's the problem: I launched two products. I wrote blog posts. I posted on X, built in public. I tried running ads. And you know what actually got me customers? Replying to someone on Reddit who asked, "What's the best tool for this?" One reply. Three signups. I felt like an idiot for not doing it sooner. But here's the issue: I don't have time to refresh Reddit all day looking for these posts. I have products to build. Bugs to fix. Emails to answer. Life to live. So I built Overlead to do the searching for me. Overlead scans Reddit, Quora, and Hacker News (and many more to come) for…

Problem: I (accidentally) hoard domains :') 1. I get excited about a new project 2. I buy a domain 3. I get busy, and the domain collects a thick layer of dust I know I'm not alone in this, either So, I had the idea of creating a simple and casual marketplace for folks like me to list their domains at a fair price with a nice community feel to free up these caged domains It felt like a great project for me to pick up some new skills, so I got to it All up, it took me about a month, and I built the whole thing live on Twitch I've always sat on the design, marketing and front-end side of the…

Hi HN, You know that feeling when you have a brilliant idea at 2am, buy the domain immediately, and then never touch it again? Last month I sat down to figure out how much money I've been bleeding on domain renewals, and honestly, I was scared to look. I had domains scattered across GoDaddy, Namecheap, and a few other registrars I barely remember signing up for. I did what we all do: I built a tool for it. It's basically "Spotify Wrapped" but for all those domains you bought and forgot about. Connect your registrars manually, and get: - How many domains you have - Total renewal costs -…

FoundersWall▲35I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…

Every now and then I see these posts where people post the domains they purchased for XYZ side project that is clearly not happening. But considering how difficult it can be to find a good name, its always nice to see what people are willing to part with. Post your domains!

I made a site to sell the husk of your stupid startup/project/whatever that you stopped working on for some reason. The idea is that you may have worked on some projects, wrote code, bought a domain, got customers even; and then life happened and you quietly abandoned your thing and now it's just collecting dust. Your useless project of the week might have some utility though for someone else, who knows? You can post anything for free that you're interested in dumping, and you can browse the projects you find cool and contact the sellers directly. I just list the stuff. The other…

Hey there, HN people! I would like to share with you a little tool I've been working on this year. It's called Newsy https://www.newsy.co Problem I have more than 30 domains that I've bought over the years. I plan to (eventually) do something with them, but meanwhile, they are un-used and just sitting there. I want to use them somehow. I know there are a few impulsive domain buyers out there! :) My Solution I wanted to turn my un-used domains into something useful without me having to do too much work. So I created Newsy https://www.newsy.co It turns your un-used domains…

I've noticed that in the IndieHacker space, there are two distinct groups of people. Group 1: Have a million ideas, a thousand unused domains in their registrar account, and 15 projects that they're currently working on. Group 2: Have the drive to start something, but for the life of them can't find a good idea to start working on. I wanted to try and make a tool on my site that will bridge the gap between these two groups. The idea is this: People from group 1 can list a combination of a domain, logo and business plan on the site. You can list it for sale on any platform such as Gumroad,…

Hello HN, About a month ago, I posted an "Ask HN" to see if there was any interest in having daily available .com domain name lists. The names would all be appropriate for startups, blogs and websites, nothing else. While the response wasn't overwhelming, it was quite positive and a few individuals got me motivated to go through with this. I decided to go with the free newsletter format so I could keep some form of exclusivity for the subscribers, giving them a better chance at getting a name they before somebody else gets to it. You can find the old discussion here:…

I'm a solo dev. A few years ago, I got addicted to Reddit. Spent months in that loop. Being a programmer, I thought I'd be clever. Redirected Reddit's domain to nowhere in my DNS file. Worked great until I'd just... open the file and undo it 20 minutes later. So I made it irreversible. Locked the DNS file so it can't be edited unless I boot my Mac in safe mode. And if I do that, there's a script that instantly locks it again. Haven't used Reddit since last year. Problem solved, right? Wrong. I just replaced Reddit with Twitch and YouTube. Started keeping streams running in the background…

Hey makers! I'm excited to introduce my new project, https://unblock.domains I actually built this to solve one of my own problems after one of my domains got blacklisted for unknown reasons, and I was never notified about it. I didn't have monitoring at the time and wondered why none of my emails were reaching my customers! To that end, Unblock.Domains is designed to keep your domains off blacklists effortlessly. It monitors major blacklists around the clock and automatically requests whitelisting if your domains get blacklisted. Key features include: Automatic Monitoring and…
