Yes, please do give it a look, we're currently A/B testing a new theme and we could use feedback. Namecheap are certainly better than Godaddy but they're still nowhere near as simple as using our service.
1. Google is NEVER going into the auto business, but they'll licence or even donate their software to run on any auto manufacturers car.
2. The auto manufacturers will only tepidly roll this out very with tons of regulatory and legal tiptoeing.
3. The end user will have to sign away any legal rights to recourse and/or the government(s) will have to amend statutory rights accordingly before the first cars hit the road.
4. It will happen, eventually. It will save hundreds of thousands of lives/year.
Exactly why we moved to CoffeeScript, without it you need to rigorously enforce coding conventions. This entails watching for missing vars, using jslint, having a script that searches for accidentally declared globals, only declaring vars at the top of a function, among other best practices. With CS you get all of that just by using it. If you can write high-standard code using a simpler, terser syntax, why avoid it?
Exactly why we created http://nametoolkit.com, I've used Gandi and they're not bad, but even their interface is a bit clunky, makes you click twice (to commit the DNS change you've just submitted).
Hi Rich,
I've never seen your site before, I have very little free time, and I use it to code more than read the news. Your site isn't bad.. it's not the best I've seen and not the worst either, which is similar to how I'd currently rate ours.
domaintyper.com is one of my new favourites and I was aware of domai.nr but found it too minimalist to be useful to me, and some minor ones you'll get through Google , or DuckDuckGo :).
Actually one of the things I learned on the project was how poorly I'd initally researched the market. There are far more competitors than I thought in this space.
Many are proof of concept or prepend adjectives, some are more advanced. We are trying to be creative and we're coming up with most algorithms and UI concepts from scratch out of necessity as we're not hugely impressed with what we've seen elsewhere.
Yes we have made sales, I won't divulge the number, safe to say, not enough for me to quit my day job but we're moving on much faster than expected. Being an affiliate, as you probably know has it's drawbacks in terms of not being able to track user behaviour once they disappear into the registrar's site.
Name Toolkit doesn't merely attach words to other words randomly, or prepend random words, but if that's how it looked, then we're not doing well enough. We're working to make our search better daily and we hope that will become apparent if you re-visit.
