Have I ever bought an emoji domain? Nope.
Can I think of a good use for my domain? 🤔 Maybe you can use it to host dev related stuff. Email would be fun.
Do I think emoji domains will ever catch on? Not really. At least until there is sufficient browser support and you can get a physical emoji keyboard. Typing emojis is hard and requires extra clicks, something that is especially hard on laptops. Actually on my iPad I had to manually type the link in because when copying and pasting I got this

SEO is also probably a problem.

I think you nailed this 100%!

And yeah I don't think I will use it for anything other than a bit of fun...I might put my DEV.to demos on the site just for fun...provided I can link to the domain from codepen / jsfiddle!

Another experiment I need to run!
