Turn your un-used domains into Reddit-like clones
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…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 into a Reddit-like content aggregator. It automatically crawls the web based on the keywords I provide (or RSS feeds) and creates a Reddit-like content-based website. Over the past few months, we've added following features - memberships, voting, comments, themes, automated newsletters, integration with other tools & monetization by bringing your own ads. Examples Check out some of mine and some of other users who have their domains on Newsy https://www.dataloco.com https://www.heystartup.com https://www.getinfosec.news It's still early days for us, but I'm glad that I am now using most of my 30 un-used domains for somewhat interesting things and everything is pretty much automated so I don't really have to do much work on them. Would love for you guys to check it out! Thanks!

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!

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
