I'm a bit of a domain junky... I've purchased ~60 domains over the past few years. I know it's not as big as some serious professional domainers, but I bought them thinking that they will become one day.. you know.. unicorns.. 😎 they are more like... donkeys at the moment.. if at all.

But! I did have an idea about a year ago where I didn't want these domains to go unused and idle. I also didn't have time to develop and maintain them, so I created a little tool called Newsy.

newsy.co

It turns your unused domain names into a content aggregator automatically. It self-updates, self-maintains and self-runs! Over the last few months, I've added quite a few features like membership, voting features, SSL, monetization etc.

If anyone is interested, I'd happy for you to try it out!
