I've seen this game played on YouTube a LOT and really want to give it a go.. Any chance of a Mac port?

Hey HN,

14 years ago on HN a domain name generator launched called Impossibility (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1874465), as a bloke with a fair few side projects I really enjoyed the speed and simplicity

The site shut down a few years ago (and the domain name was bought by a porn site hence @dang having to remove the URL) and I've not found a service that replicates it to my liking.

So, I rebuilt it, I've got a few tweaks still to make but I'm pleased with the current speed and simplicity of it.

Hey HN, Dom here, since the launch of https://littlewarden.com on Show HN a few years ago, we've added a lot of new features but we've always wanted to have a free tier (to get some attention).

We decided that going back and making LW work with thousands of free users wouldn't be the best use of our time but we could use the core API of Little Warden and build another website from it thus Free Domain Alerts was born.

I still have 4 more tweets that I can see today so as long as I only refresh this tweet three more times. I'm good.

Simon (and Nat of course) are one of the most inspirational (smartest and loveliest) couples I've encountered in all the weird tech events..

Their honeymoon, creation of Lanyrd and then eventual sale was a lovely story to follow over the years (and it's certainly part of an inspiration to our latest project)

Here's to 20 more years of blogging!

Thanks, let me know what we are missing and I’ll try and get them added (as a two person team we know we have a challenge to try and get everything!)

Thanks for the feedback! You are right that it’s not “exactly” the same use case but it’s certainly an easy way to pitch it!

I really want to highlight smaller and regional productions as well as larger west end ones (that’s why our recommendations system is designed not to focus on budget ;) )

Awards are on the development list but I want to really think about ones which could have an impact to the production rather than quickly throwing some up!

Hey, I’m on my mobile at the moment but I think we can do that, can you send a message to dom@dresscircle.co.Uk and I’ll see if what we can do will work!
