Thanks for clarifying! However, when I was looking at the startups participating in Demo Day, say this one for example (https://xx.team/stark.therapeutics), there wasn't much of a financial history - which does make sense, given that they're an early-stage startup. So I guess my question is - what are the metrics that are reported during the DD phase in order for these startups to be approved for crowdfunding?

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well! Giving the mass public the ability to invest in early-stage starts is like opening up Pandora's Box, imo - it just feels too risky to me.

Interesting take on equity crowdfunding! But I wonder if the heightened risk of equity crowdfunding compare to other asset classes, say stocks/real estate, would dissuade people from investing in these startups, especially during trouble times like this? Have you been seeing a lot of investment activity since the start of Demo Day?

That dinosaur animation on the landing page was a nice touch too haha

This is incredible, Hari! Love the vision for SimpleOps, and I love that you're providing a limited lifetime deal package! Great work man!

This is incredible! Love the simplicity in the UX design. Gonna post it on Twitter in a bit - would love to tag you but I can't find your Twitter.

One suggestion - a way for people to share the link directly or just copy the PNG file without downloading it will reduce friction for people who don't really have space on their devices.

Great job, Dave!

Hey Anzhelika! Thanks a lot for your feedback, as well as your encouraging words! I'm planning to add the "price range" feature for each of the TLDs very soon - it's one of the top tasks on my to-do list - so stay tuned!

As for the monthly reports feature - I really like that idea! I'll definitely write that down and implement it in future newsletters!

Really appreciate the amazing suggestions! Thank you!

Hello Hacker News! Maker of One Word Domains here! Since OWD's last appearance on Hacker News, I've added a few extra features to the site including 20 new TLDs, a domain hacks category, new filter parameters, as well as a rudimentary user authentication system.

I'm posting here because I would love to get your thoughts on which features you would like to see next for a tool like this. My current plan is to add the following features:

- An advanced search tool where users can type in a given word and receive relevant high-quality domains that are generated via sentiment analysis and deep learning.

- Premium newsletter service - users can choose a niche and we will send weekly newsletters with the best domains pertaining to that niche.

- A full-fledged user management and authentication system on One Word Domains where users can log in with their account and save all the domains that they like with the click of a button and review their selections later.

Would love hear some feedback on this, as well as the site/UX in general. Please, don't be afraid to be harsh - I really appreciate any constructive criticisms that I can get.

Thanks a lot,

Steven

Makes sense! I'll change it in the next version. Thanks!

Haha of course! Feel free to connect with me on Twitter too - would love to keep in touch with you and see how you progress with the idea!

Gotcha! That's it then - the hyphenated sites are out! :D

Nooo, don't need to apologize, I really appreciate the direct feedback - it's the kind of feedback that really helps you improve the user experience for your product after all! So yeah, thank you so much again for the feedback, and thanks for being so encouraging! :D

Yeah, there are certainly a lot of really cool products out there that does this...namelix.com is one of them as well. But damn, I really love Zilpa's UX! Thanks for sharing! :D

Got it! Thanks guys - Iwantmyname actually reached out to me but I wasn't sure how legit they were since I've never used their product, but after you guys' testimonials, I think I'll add them to the next version of One Word Domains! :D

Even if you're doing business, it's always good to have a hard skill under your belt, so I'd say there's definitely no harm in mastering CS on the side! Good luck! :D

I really like that idea! And yes, I'm actually considering adding a "Featured Listings" section where you can list your domains - feel free to sign up on the newsletter and I'll let you know when it's ready! :D

That depends - what are the TLDs for your domains?

I've been getting a ton of requests for Porkbun so I'll definitely consider adding it there! Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Makes sense! I'll have to figure out a way to incorporate that because my current code structure is kind weird, but when I do I'll let you know! Feel free to sign up for the newsletter so I can notify you when that feature is ready! :D

I apologize for the faulty user experience - I gotta admit, the file structure for my app is rather rudimentary, as this was my first time building a Flask app and I didn't really put much thought into file structuring.

I'll make note of this and maybe make some changes to this in future versions of the app. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

That's crazy! Tbh it's kind of a jerk move on the domain registrar's side - by labeling a certain TLD as "Premium" they get to charge extra on the renewal/registration fees. Pretty unethical I'd say :(

Great question! I'm not so sure myself - anybody knows anything about this?

Yeah, I just checked them out and they seem pretty legit. Gonna start using them to scout for good domain names and perhaps even find a way to integrate their list into One Word Domains :D

God, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you :(

This also goes to show how big the domain aftermarket is - perhaps next time you could list your domains on sites like Dan.com, where they'll renew it for you automatically and help you find buyers who are willing to pay for your domain?

Yes! I'm actually considering adding a "Featured Listings" section where you can list your domains - feel free to sign up on the newsletter and I'll let you know when it's ready! :D

Oooh, I love this idea! Can totally see how this could replace random number generators and make the whole user experience - however brief it might be - 10 times as amazing! Great choice!

Hahaha yeah, I used to buy a bunch of domains thinking that I was gonna do something with them only to end up letting them expire in a year :'(

But don't worry, you'll find a viable business idea/business model for it soon, I believe in you!

Hey Adam! Thanks a lot for your kind words! And I totally get where you're coming from - I've always been intimidated by responsive designs as well, but then I learned about percentages and screen-size specific designs and though the process is a little tedious, I was able to finally make my designs responsive and conducive on different screen sizes.

As for resources, I usually refer a lot to CSS Tricks, Codepen.io, W3 Schools, GeeksforGeeks, and good old StackOverflow when I'm building my websites. Hope this helps! Also, feel free to reach out to me via Twitter - I would love to keep in touch with you there!

Oh Christ, I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. Gonna go fix that now, brb!

Thanks for pointing it out btw!

Yup! As I mentioned in a previous comment, I'm thinking of training a deep learning model on the top 10,000 startup names and use it to generate available .com domain names that could potentially be in the format of a two-word/three-word domains too! Not sure how feasible this is gonna be but I'm definitely gonna give it a try!
