I saw wi.fi and could believe it wasn't taken. I started registering it with 101domain and then thought, maybe another registrar has it for cheaper than $69 (plus a $177.96 trustee service fee!).

As I searched other registrars, I discovered that it was already taken; registered years ago. I wonder how far into the process 101domain would have let me gone. After they already charged my credit card?

101domains doesn't seem like that great of a registrar. I left it there out of respect for the guy that originally made the site (it had his referral code in the link). I guess I should change it to a better registrar.

Hipster Domain Finder was created by HN user bramgg. Three months ago he posted looking for someone to take over. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10861715

Being a big fan of silly domains, I had already started working on reviving it before I saw that thread.

It's open source, you can find the code here: https://github.com/djh-/hipster-domain-finder
