Hi Acorn, Hope you had a great weekend.
While we are working on building Acorn, I wanted to share a bit of what’s been happening behind the scenes.
Domain Summit has officially gone global (starting from Asia) and Helmuts has been working super-duper hard on the event throughout the past month. From everything I’ve heard, the event was a great success, even though I wasn’t able to attend in person.
Meanwhile, I was working on the Live Auction Feed and Collection (something like bookmark but share-able), which our initial thought was to shortlist the auctions available, and bid on the best one possible. This is still the motive, but we added in extra share-able links so that a investor can easily share their auction domains. Check it out at DNForum: https://www.dnforum.com/live-domain-auction-feed/com . We also added in huge marketplaces like GoDaddy which we will bring over to Acorn as well. We currently have nearly 550k domains listed there > and our future plan is to make filtering best domains a breeze (based on SEO or name or credibility... we will see, suggestions are welcome)
Now, we are migrating the same logic and UI to Acorn and also the servers (Developer insider: I was using MariaDB, but now I am shifting over to the Postgres for performance as the database scales).
That's all for today's rant!
You could genuinely suggest me anything - or any improvements that could be made
Best regards,
Prashanna
