I guess we'll have to stick with https://postgresapp.com
Has preorder been open since May 1? At least I see domains created as early as May 2:
$ whois mail.app
Domain Name: mail.app
Registry Domain ID: 2CA663491-APP
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.nic.google
Registrar URL: https://www.godaddy.com/
Updated Date: 2018-05-02T16:15:05Z
Creation Date: 2018-05-02T16:15:04Z
Registry Expiry Date: 2019-05-02T16:15:04ZMar 29 - May 1: Trademark holders can register .app domains (known as the "Sunrise" period).
May 1 - May 8: Anyone can register available .app domains for an extra fee (known as the "Early Access" period).
May 8 and onwards: Anyone can register available .app domains (known as “General Availability").
And they started auctioning domains starting May 1st.
Now all I have to do is convert it into a blockchain machine learning big data startup and I'll become a billionaire.
I also bet there's some ok ad money to be made with 'POLITICIAN.is.fullofcr.app'...
I might try the politician domain idea. I should probably script it so it goes though the websites for the houses of parliament, US congress etc and automatically creates a page for them :-)
There is still time!
"cr.app Available for 1,199.00 USD / 1 Year"
A bit too much for me.
Oh wait.
In case anyone is wondering, it appears their premium domains only have a higher price for the initial registration. I just checked how much it would cost to add extra years to my registration, and it's only $14/year.
I bought my $firstname.$lastname 2 years ago but forgot to renew and let it lapse.
Someone else picked it up and is neither using it not responding to my emails. I'm still devastasted.
They must of sold off so many short domains privately.
I've seen whole businesses revolve around offering SEO services, and an uncountable amount of clients caring more about SEO (and willing to pay more for it) than actual web design/development.
Would you have any resources to share where I could read more about this please?
