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 view .com domain name registrations for any topic over time.
The link I submitted here takes you straight to the search results for "3d print", though you can perform your own search using the field at the top of the page. The examples listed at the top of the page some of the more interesting (and often perplexing) trends that I've found.
I'd love to get your feedback. It's a new tool so if you run into any snags just let me know and I'll check it out. Thanks!
