Update — a few things since my last post here:
Hit a rough patch: some of you would have seen real hangs/500s on the droplist over the last couple of weeks. Traced it to a database query joining a table it didn't need to — fixed properly now, not just patched. Made a round of other database changes aimed at speed too, so it should generally feel snappier.
What's new:
- Watchlist now works exactly like the droplist — same filters, sorting and expanded rows, including search volume and Domain Rating on your own names.
- A public stats page — namechase.uk/stats — upcoming drops, plus catch rates by ending and by name length.
- Ahrefs Domain Rating shown alongside search volume on the droplist, with its own range filter, still more metrics comming later.
- Filter panel redesign — plain Show checkboxes instead of Any/Yes/No, and regex is now a proper mode in the search box.
Biggest change: it's coming out of free beta onto paid plans (Bronze/Silver/Gold, from £5/month) — this was always the plan, just wanted to get it worth paying for first. For anyone here who's been following along, code ACORNDOMAINS at checkout gets 50% off your first 3 months.
As always, thanks for the feedback so far — keep it coming.
