Comment on Code Shelter: A Maintainer Community for Abandoned FOSS Projectsparent

Comments

I just noticed that CodeShelter webpage is using .co domain name. My problem with that is that it's so often mistaken for .com that virtually any other tld is better.

Hmm, I chose it specifically because it looks like Com, but the latter was unavailable. I'll see if I get another one as a backup, thank you.

there is a vast number of top level domains now available. i'd choose a memorable one from there.

.com doesn't actually strike me as the best choice since it used to mean commercial businesses. .co sounds better at least since it matches the first letters of code

.space .info .online .world .care .directory .community (i love that one) .support (also great) .help .cloud .network .codes (maybe shelter.codes :-) .software (shelter.software?)

just some ideas.

there is also codeshelter.fail, but i think it was established that negative connotations are a bad idea :-)
