Show HN: Turn your un-used domains into Reddit-like clones Hey there, HN people! I would like to share with you a little tool I've been working on this year. It's called Newsy https://www.newsy.co Problem I have more than 30 domains that I've bought over the years. I plan to (eventually) do something with them, but meanwhile, they are un-used and just sitting there. I want to use them somehow. I know there are a few impulsive domain buyers out there! :) My Solution I wanted to turn my un-used domains into something useful without me having to do too much work. So I created Newsy https://www.newsy.co It turns your un-used domains into a Reddit-like content aggregator. It automatically crawls the web based on the keywords I provide (or RSS feeds) and creates a Reddit-like content-based website. Over the past few months, we've added following features - memberships, voting, comments, themes, automated newsletters, integration with other tools & monetization by bringing your own ads. Examples Check out some of mine and some of other users who have their domains on Newsy https://ift.tt/34pQe2d https://ift.tt/3mtuhpf https://ift.tt/2Ke3yjn It's still early days for us, but I'm glad that I am now using most of my 30 un-used domains for somewhat interesting things and everything is pretty much automated so I don't really have to do much work on them. Would love for you guys to check it out! Thanks! December 18, 2020 at 03:43AM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
