Hipster Domain Finder 2.0

What

Find short & sweet single word domain hacks with Hipster Domain Finder at HipsterDomainFinder.com. All domains listed should be available for registration.

Development

General

Requirements for HDF are Python 3 and MongoDB. Python modules that must be installed are:

• requests
• pymongo
• bottle

HDF is ready to be used locally out of the box. Just run populate_db.py to populate the database with 100 domain hacks. Note this is for testing purposes only and the domains will be marked as available without any verification. In production use update.py as described below.

Domains

update.py calculates all possible domain hacks from words in words.txt and inserts/updates their availability with Domainr's API (API key must be set in config.ini). HDF's official website runs update.py with Cron every 24 hours.

words.txt is supposedly the 50,000 most common english words on the internet, though I can't remember where I got it. Adding/changing words is as simple as changing words.txt.

Website

HDF's official website is intentionally very simple inside and out. website.py handles routing and serving dynamic/static content. HTML is in views and CSS is in static. Colour scheme is based on praxicalidocious's Winter Wolves palette.

hipster-domain-finder's Issues

Show last updates timestamp

It might help to know when the last update happened or when the next update will happen.

Nothing to link to :0

Currently the domains on Hipster Domain Finder link to nothing because no single registrar supports all the TLDs (well, Gandi does but lots of them are only for corporate customers).

Registrar box doesn't work for those without JavaScript

Clicking a domain with JavaScript disabled links to ?d=<domain>, this was in the hope that at some point full non-JavaScript support could be added by rendering the registrar box server-side.

Can't register .ls domains

Per Wikipedia, "it is not possible to register a new second-level domain in .ls."

Pity, though.

Add sorting filters

Just start with these:

• By domain length
• By domain extension

Hide or note unregistrable tlds

Some tlds, like .er (Eritrea) or .nc (New Caledonia) have inoperative registrars or residency requirements that prohibit public registration. It would be nice to be able to filter those out.
