Thoughts on “try[product-name].COM” vs “[product-name].APP”? Or any other domain opinions

definitely .app a friend has try[product name] and I always forget and put in the omnibar "prod..." but nothing comes up and it's annoying

if u can get the pure form of the name that is always better than any variation of the name in .com form. .com doesn't hit the same as it used to, so not worth comporting to it

did similar with securekit.app and getsecurekit.com (which I won’t renew). One benefit of .app is that it enforces https though one can also enforce by adding to hstspreload.org

.io is a good TLD if [product-name] is available

On a related note, I support capital punishment for domain squatters

I'm not a fan of "try" as a prefix. It's cute the first time, but awkward for a product you use all the time. same for "get" I think suffix is the way to go, with a .com if you can. People really don't get .co, .io, etc. You'll ultimately spend time and money to move to a .com later

surprised to see no .xyz suggestions, which feels to me like _the_ web3 domain

Call me old school but I prefer .com. Its got history. Its timeless. Its the OG. And all the other things people say about old things when they are trying to shill them 😄

try + product name might be a good idea for a twitter handle actually. for a website domain, product name. app/io/com/xyz

I consistently find myself forgetting the URLs for try/get/use{productName} - and it's frustrating every time. .app are awesome because they're naturally easy to recall when you need them (linear.app is a vivid example). I think anything descriptive after {productName} is viable.

maybe dating mysef but get.com was a decent standard for a while - maybe now - too
