Yesterday’s update brings a bunch of important and exciting new things to Domainr:
IDN support makes Domainr much friendlier for non-English-speakers, which according to Quantcast is about half of you. It’s lots of fun for English-speakers too—check out CopyPasteCharacter and FlipText to grab some characters for tinkering, or just change the punycode on a permalinked page to see what’s possible. One known issue with our current IDN support is that we don’t yet handle per-TLD character restrictions. For example, .dk only lets you use these characters—æ, ø, å, ö, ä, ü, & é—but Domainr lets you try the full range of characters.
Adding .com, .net and .org to Domainr’s search results was one of your most-requested features, so we’d love to hear what you think about it.
Lastly, Domainr now links to registrars or NICs for all Top-Level and Second-Level domains. This took some time, and was a combination of Mturk’d work and our own brute-force Wikipedia exploration.
Let us know how you’re using Domainr—we’re listening on both Twitter and Get Satisfaction—we’d love to hear from you!
