This may be nit picky, but, when I change pages, it causes the browser to reload and move to top of page. This happens each time I click the next page button. This is very confusing. It'd be nice if the page did not reload, and instead fetched the new results via an ajax call, then updated the view with new results. This should not be difficult.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into this. I haven't done web development in 1.5+ years so might take me some time.

I am also thinking about adding a search functionality.

Site listed: weezevents.com as availbale

http://www.weezevent.com/ --- Still seems to be running?

Hmm, I will have to take a look into this.

Unfortunately, the Crunchbase API limit is super low that I can only batch check 1000 domains every 12 hours.

Looked into it, the domain that is available has an "s" at the end.

I'm missing the "bring a startup back to life" part. This is more of a previously used, and now available, domain name list?

Yes.

The idea is that these are all startups that have failed and now their domains are available to purchase, hence the "bring back to life".

oh, I did exactly the same thing last week. I only manually checked 20,000 domains (by bulk domain checks) and got 200+ domains. But unfortunately I didn't find any one I like too much.
