Swag-for-dev: Find a cool domain name

[swapagarwal]

We can find a cool domain (maybe something like swag.*), and redirect it to this page. e.g. swag.online, swag.dev, etc.

[zac-garby]

swag.info?

[swapagarwal]

@zac-garby Not available

[TooPlain]

We can go for something like maybe swag.io? I doubt it would be available unfortunately. I’ll see what I can find. Would you guys be open to any type tld as long as there is swag in it?

swag.io is taken(although not being used currently), but devswag.io looks to be available.

[swapagarwal]

@TooPlain Any name is fine as long as it is relatable and memorable! 😄

[TooPlain]

Devswag doesn’t sound bad, anyone else like that domain? Let’s do a vote on it.

@mgaruccio +1
Let's wait for a few more members to chime in! 😇

[remram44]

I really must recommend against .io, not only because of the political controversy around it, but also because it has a history of breakage.

.org, .info might be a better choice (devswag.info? swag.info?)

[zac-garby]

and redirect it to this page

It might be better to make an actual website for it, even if it's just a GitHub pages thing.

[swapagarwal]

@remram44 Now that I think about it, I definitely remember hearing about multiple .io outages.
@zac-garby Currently, it's this: https://swapagarwal.github.io/swag-for-dev/ Feel free to improve on it! 🎨

[zac-garby]

@swapagarwal Oh right, I didn't realise it was already set up lol

[austriker27]

I have a few suggestions:

devswag.tech
devswag.fun

Otherwise, I think devswag.io is good other than the io controversy

[mgaruccio]

Personally, I'm a fan of devswag.tech if the plan is to stay away from .io

[MartinHennrich]

swag.fans 🤔

[MartinHennrich]

swag.supplies 🤔

[TooPlain]

So I looked at a few of the suggestions. I would say we should find more domains closer to our subject/objective which is tech related swag.
Like devswag.io or devswag.tech

[mgaruccio]

It seems like the consensus is for "devswag" with some debate about the TLD. Not sure who will actually be registering but I did some quick pricing on namecheap and devswag.io is about $32 while devswag.tech is about $18. Not sure if that matters but figured I'd include it.

[antonio6643]

What about devswag.zone ?

[bharathvaj-ganesan]

how about dev.swag ?

[wad3g]

A little pricey, but http://devsw.ag would be my pick.

If there later is out of your price range I'd go with http://👨‍💻👕.ws

[TooPlain]

I kind of like what @wad3g suggested, what’s the price on it?

[wad3g]

@TooPlain .ag is around ~$85-$95.

[swapagarwal]

Going with the flow, I'm also sold on devswag.*. 💯
The only thing that remains is to decide on the TLD (info, io, tech, etc.) as @mgaruccio mentioned!

I've set up a Patreon page to gather support from the community to go for the pricier TLDs.
Feel free to share what extra features would you like to see on the website. Cheers! 🎉

@zac-garby @TooPlain @mgaruccio @remram44 @austriker27 @MartinHennrich @antonio6643 @bharathvaj1995 @wad3g

How about devswag.xyz?

[zac-garby]

Yeah Ilike that one (devswag.xyz)

[MartinHennrich]

devswag.xyz sounds great 😎

[swapagarwal]

I had a discussion with a couple of folks regarding the TLD.
Going with the popular opinion (devswag.io), we're live on Product Hunt right now!!
(Just in case, we also have devswag.xyz pointing to devswag.io)
