I built a domain name marketplace for folks (like me) who hoard domains

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…

In plain words

A marketplace designed for people who accumulate unused domains. The platform lets users list their dormant domains at fair prices in a casual, community-focused environment. Built with SvelteKit and Supabase, it addresses the common problem of domain hoarding by providing a simple way to sell domains that no longer serve a purpose. The creator developed the entire application in about a month while streaming the process live.
