Want to Build a Side Business? Just Buy Great Domain Name
Maybe it's just that I lack follow through, but I disagree. I have a horrible habit of buying domain names thinking that I have this great idea, I play with it for a day or two and then abandon it.<p>Actually, in the spirit of this article, if anyone here is interested in any of these, let me know:<p>addressauth.com -- Was going to be a physical address verification service using lob.com's postcard sending API.<p>atomicthings.com -- something vaguely iot related<p><a href="http://blankpage.press" rel="nofollow">http://blankpage.press</a> -- a news site that only posted things that were important (but I realized that would mean I'd need to read all the news and figure out what was important).<p><a href="http://commn.co" rel="nofollow">http://commn.co</a> -- an inventory tracking system for DIY entheusists that allowed you to track your crap, but also see other peoples crap and trade/sell to others if you don't need it anymore.<p><a href="http://difftos.com" rel="nofollow">http://difftos.com</a> -- a tool to watch service's ToS for changes and easily see what actually changed.<p>hydramatic.net -- ifttt, but for programmers (it's the name of the first automatic transmission)<p><a href="http://shit.land" rel="nofollow">http://shit.land</a> / <a href="http://shit.foundation" rel="nofollow">http://shit.foundation</a> -- "The Society for a Homogenous Internet of Things Foundation", an obviously dumb name for a website that I was going to setup a wiki to track IoT stuff, mostly protocols and maybe eventually something with security vulns.<p>virga.link / <a href="http://virga.space" rel="nofollow">http://virga.space</a> -- My plans for a fully decentralized IoT 'protocol', there's actually a couple blog posts on here that lay out what I was thinking.<p>If you have an existing project that's not in risk of dying that one of these would fit, I'll gladly give it to for free. (I just ask that if the project does die you'd give it back to me and not sell it.)<p>Also, slightly unrelated, but since I'm listing domain names, <a href="https://knock.ninja" rel="nofollow">https://knock.ninja</a> was another one of these, but I've actually gotten myself to keep working on that on, if a bit slowly. I actually am pretty proud of coming up with that name. (Although the content on that site it pretty shit, btw. I need to come up with better ways of describing it with fewer words.)
