Maybe this question has been asked before — I’m not sure what others think about it.

I feel the domain industry should have a social-media-style mobile app. Platforms like NamePros feel like old-school forums. Navigation is difficult, and often you don’t know where to go.

A 20-year-old thread can get updated and suddenly appear pinned at the top.

It’s also hard to easily discover what people are currently sharing, apart from domain sales and auction posts.

There’s no global feed page where you can quickly see fresh activity across the community.

I’m not blaming NamePros — but there really isn’t any modern alternative either.

I’m a developer, and I’ve been thinking about building a social media app specifically for domainers. I know it won’t be easy.

What do you think about this idea?
Would you actually be interested in using such an app?

information - Why doesn’t the domain community have its own modern app?
 
We have a DN.ca app and I go to great length to make it mobile friendly by stripping out unnecessary clutter.

The categories on NP are horrendous and again we keep it simple and easy to understand.

The thread above shows a history of members quitting but I also see namepros softening a bit. They are still losing a ton of cross link traffic due to their "no other forum link" rule.

I won't tell them how to run their site but the self isolation may come back to bite them in the end.

The second someone created an all-encompassing mobile app for domainers, it would be absolutely full of Indian and AI scammers about 2 minutes later.
