Background
-
For serious projects I'll conform to standard practice and
choose a real domain name
-
But for fun projects I don't want to
-
Downsides
-
I have to pick the domain name when I first share the
project. That's when I know the least about it
- I'm stuck with the domain forever
-
The more specific the name, the more it constrains how
much I can morph my project over time
-
I could do what
xkcd
did and just pick some random letters.
-
One option would be a
not-spam-[0-9a-zA-Z]+.com
format
- There's a chance this would backfire
-
Thus I propose the
domain-ID
format for names
-
Specifically
-
domain-[0-9a-zA-Z]+.com
-
The expected use case is for the
[0-9a-zA-Z]+
part not to be human meaningful, but this isn't
required
