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

Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
