14 years ago on HN a domain name generator launched called Impossibility (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1874465), as a bloke with a fair few side projects I really enjoyed the speed and simplicity
The site shut down a few years ago (and the domain name was bought by a porn site hence @dang having to remove the URL) and I've not found a service that replicates it to my liking.
So, I rebuilt it, I've got a few tweaks still to make but I'm pleased with the current speed and simplicity of it.
Hey HN, Dom here, since the launch of https://littlewarden.com on Show HN a few years ago, we've added a lot of new features but we've always wanted to have a free tier (to get some attention).
We decided that going back and making LW work with thousands of free users wouldn't be the best use of our time but we could use the core API of Little Warden and build another website from it thus Free Domain Alerts was born.
Simon (and Nat of course) are one of the most inspirational (smartest and loveliest) couples I've encountered in all the weird tech events..
Their honeymoon, creation of Lanyrd and then eventual sale was a lovely story to follow over the years (and it's certainly part of an inspiration to our latest project)
Thanks for the feedback! You are right that it’s not “exactly” the same use case but it’s certainly an easy way to pitch it!
I really want to highlight smaller and regional productions as well as larger west end ones (that’s why our recommendations system is designed not to focus on budget ;) )
Awards are on the development list but I want to really think about ones which could have an impact to the production rather than quickly throwing some up!
That's a very fair point, honestly not the first thing we thought of when building the website (as the initial intention was only for my wife and I to have lists but certainly something I'm going to look into and work on.
I agree, and thats one the reasons that each show page has reviews based on the ratings of each show i.e. https://www.dresscircle.co.uk/shows/disney-s-the-lion-king and each how has a discussion board. obviously there is still a fair bit to do but we thought about that from the beginning.
