I just bought moon.codes a few days ago.
Any suggestions?

Ok here we go!

  • moon is a language similar to braille so you could create a service that converts text into moon that you then print. Businesses utilise you for their blind customers needs.
  • Similar to how people can buy stars you let people buy moons discovered around other planets as presents.
  • A website with lots of free code, libraries and assets, the catch is you can only access the site when it is a full moon.
  • A website that lets you enter your code for linting and error checking. If it is great you get an "over the moon" message an animation, if it is awful you get someone pulling a "moony" at you and an offensive message!
  • You develop a type face that consists entirely of different moons, it can be used instead of lorem ipsum for prototyping.
  • You point a telescope at the moon and analyse the resulting image in super high detail, infra red etc. You then use this to create a true random number generator based on the noise in the picture etc. and sell it to casinos and other people who need truly random numbers.

Thanks for these excellent suggestions!

I'll get in touch with the community and check if this domain can be usefull to them first

I love this idea! I may run such a website, but let it available any time and just release updates at each full moon. I'll keep you updated (on a full moon of course) if this idea comes to reality.
Thanks!

Ohhhh, love that one.

I've scooped up so many .codes.
My main site is in fact odd.codes. It's just a hub for all my outside stuff right now, but I'm overhauling it big time and will upload the revamped version all at once.

I don't know if you've heard of moonscript, but it's a neat branch on Lua. Don't know how they didn't grab that one!
