A clear new beginning - Issue #6

In short: It’s a fun leaderboard to see who owns more domains. That’s it. No more trying to add saas-like tools.

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a while I wrote an update here and couldn’t have picked a new day better than today.

If you had read my old posts or following me on Twitter, you might already know how I feel about this project.

It’s a fun project I put together (initially a form as I mentioned on the 1st issue). Since it got a little bit of traction, I thought of adding some tools, features to see if I can monetize. Then it didn’t feel right and I have been talking about that dilemma ever since I tried to do that.

Even tweeted about a few upcoming features and some of them were in beta

But I’m done. I’m not doing those. There are a couple of reasons

I do have some features in my for people who have lots of domains on their profile page. Something like “Lists” or “Collections” so you can group them better.

We can also make use of Collections for something like “List of apps I use”, “List of 5 blogs I subscribed to”, etc.

Just something I have been thinking about. No timeline on when that would happen. As I said earlier, my main focus now is to get 1st version of Hifive released.

I’ve brought back the entry fee of $10. It’s not huge but I like to keep price tags since nothing is free. It would help me cover server costs and reduce spam submissions.

So that’s it. No fancy updates or announcements. Just wanted to give an update on what’s going on. Have a great year ahead!
