It is Christmas. It is a good time to talk about Christmas gifts with the NamePros community.
A few months ago, Epik acquired the domain name NameInvestors.com in a bulk deal with Troy Rushton. We have been thinking about what to do with such a memorable name. I think we figured it out.
Here are some of the questions I have been asking internally:
What if we could create the ultimate domainer dashboard that made it easy for anyone to find and register mispriced domains?
What if we could make it completely free so that anyone could participate, even people with no money and/or no credit card could access the good stuff?
What if we made it so that the community could help build it through open source code objects for adding dashboard widgets that leveraged frictionless single-sign-on and portable payments?
What if the site was governed by democratically, with the help of industry leaders with a track record for working selflessly to make the pie bigger?
What if the entire site could be owned not by private equity investors, venture capitalists, or even high net worth individuals, but instead owned by the community who contributed to make it better?
To give some vague idea of what I mean, you can see the current status here:
https://nameinvestors.com/
This is just a functional preview of the "drag and drop" widget framework. The data is real so you can use it to find leads but please don't send bots to crawl or scale it -- your IPs will get blocked rather instantly.
I also understand that @Gube, @DanSanchez and others from @epik will be dropping gifts in this thread in the coming days in terms of additional data. I imagine Dan's available names list should be widgetized.
Who else has a domainer gift this Christmas they want to share?
I am pretty sure we can count on @Ategy @Bob Hawkes @equity78 @estibot.com @James Iles @JudgeMind @Leopard @oldtimer @Silentptnr. You guys have often brought the good stuff.
As for the poll, it is open for 12 days -- for the 12 days of Christmas, starting today.
