I think it'll be good to break out of the polluted and meaningless .com namespace.
I think ccTLDs and the common TLDs work now more as signaling "this is a website" than as namespaces. When I read bounce.com I know it's a website, bounce.ninja not so much. We'll have to go back to 1999 when people didn't know about the web and you had to write http:// everywhere.
I'd use www.bounce.ninja instead. People strongly associate www with websites, and it looks nicer too. Set it up to forward to bounce.ninja and people might catch on to the new TLDs in a decade or two.
Is the whole 'ninja' trend even still a thing outside of a few random web design shops?
Anyone notice the nice Google analytics tracking params within the URL? Tailored to HN...
Nice find. The account is an hour old, and is named after a meme referring to government incompetence/absurdity. I wonder how long they brainstormed that.
Yes. Is this a problem? They posted something they offer and people think it's interesting enough to discuss...
is an interesting link not interesting anymore if you add a tracking bug?
I imagine this will be successful as .biz domains, which as far as I can tell are home to spammy and illegitimate businesses unable to think of an original .com name.
I thought, let's have a look, maybe register a domain and host some joke tumblog on this.
Here was the search result: "javascript.ninja is AVAILABLE - $937 per year".
Well, I guess I'll pass on grandmastership for the time being.

Sounds perfect for my new unsecured lending startup idea...
Meh. All the good host names are already taken.
I look forward to the day we wake up and regret introducing new and absurd TLDs. ICANN is run by a bunch of lobbyists, obviously.
Dammit, I see ninja.ninja has gone. I was hoping to have [email protected] as my email address.
shouldn't any attempt to visit a .ninja site end with a 404 anyway?
why regulate so heavily what's to the right of the dot? Isn't the right path to be open?
It makes me sad that they are allowing these 'trendy' words to become permanent tlds. Will people in 50 years still be interested in .ninja domains?
