Ask HN: What domain names do you have that you aren't utilizing?

5 points by lfowles ↗ HN
Maybe we could set up an impromptu flea market for trading our low value unused domain names. I have a few that I keep renewing just because I think I might do something with them. Realistically though, I probably won't use them and hope they might spark creativity in others through this thread.

I'll start off with: poorstills.com

I had originally wanted the site to serve as a gallery for my terrible photography (poor stills), but the idea morphed into documenting a mysterious expedition led by Poor & Stills (still using my terrible photography). Unfortunately, I ran out of time to keep going with the idea, so the countdown has counted down and the site has sputtered.

I have some casual plans for some of these, but I'm definitely open to trades/offers. I'm more attached to some than others. At the very least, a trade/offer will let move on from some of these ideas that I'd probably never work on anyways.

I have had spreaducation.com (and .info, .net, .org) for about 8 years now. I had an idea back in 2007 for an adaptive learning platform creator. Basically a WordPress for MOOCs that would let you tag content like html, videos, audio, text, etc and then the system would selectively present content to students based on their performance on quizzes and tests.

I have craftasticvoyage.com that I would be willing to part with! The wife wanted to sell her crafts but never seems to get around to doing anything with it.

stitchbites.com - Was writing knitting chart software, but ultimately decided I hated doing web dev/javascript.

freshhobby.com - A hobby picker, that would give you a list of items (and amazon referral links) that could kickstart a new hobby for <$100

athreadedmultiverse.com - A fancy view of amultiverse.com (loaded in iframe) that let you skip around storylines by tag instead of strictly chronologically. Most of the spam I receive is to the @athreadedmultiverse.com emails despite only showing it via the contact form on the Scenes From A Multiverse website :\

knitwithlogic.com - Potential company name, haven't done anything with it though.

fuckbitchesgetpopcorn.com ... I got drunk one time eating popcorn.

I registered a lot related to spacetime.io for my latest project, then I realised that most potential customers did not connect the idea of the project with that name so I went out and bought timeblock.com for 2k, that domain fits the project much better.

Besides that I have a small portfolio of different names for different failed or never started ideas.

I'm sure someone around here could do something with bostoncoder.com - email dave@davidmichaelross.com & make an offer.
