Show HN: Turn your un-used domains into Reddit-like clones
4 comments
I realize this may bring in a few dollars per month for the domain owners, but do these websites provide any real value?
If you are scraping the content from the web anyhow the user would be better off going to the original source, or a moderated environment like Reddit I would say?

I don't think they provide value to readers but it could provide value to the domain owner if they are looking to sell their domain. If I go to a domain and it looks like this with compared to a simple "this domain is for sale" page it could convey a higher price.
Free for 1 site.
$5 for 3 sites
$10 for 10 sites
$20 for 30 sites.

I would like to share with you a little tool I've been working on this year. It's called Newsy

Problem
I have more than 30 domains that I've bought over the years. I plan to (eventually) do something with them, but meanwhile, they are un-used and just sitting there. I want to use them somehow. I know there are a few impulsive domain buyers out there! :)
My Solution
I wanted to turn my un-used domains into something useful without me having to do too much work. So I created Newsy
https://www.newsy.co
It turns your un-used domains into a Reddit-like content aggregator. It automatically crawls the web based on the keywords I provide (or RSS feeds) and creates a Reddit-like content-based website.
Over the past few months, we've added following features - memberships, voting, comments, themes, automated newsletters, integration with other tools & monetization by bringing your own ads.
Examples
Check out some of mine and some of other users who have their domains on Newsy

It's still early days for us, but I'm glad that I am now using most of my 30 un-used domains for somewhat interesting things and everything is pretty much automated so I don't really have to do much work on them.
Would love for you guys to check it out! Thanks!
