@brianbest ha oh god...
Jon Roig
@brianbest Always nice to see my work being put to good use...

Cool stuff. Looks like you're sending a lot of customers to GoDaddy - were you able to get any referral cut from them?
Jon Roig
@jhartist Thanks Jay. I actually work for GoDaddy. This was done as part of a hackathon project... I have to present in a few mins :)
Edwin Halim
@jonroig @jhartist this is how you do it son. dayum
Jon Roig
Just to follow up... I totally won the Hackathon! Thanks ProductHunt! It was pretty compelling to do my little demo with the logs of people checking domain registrations scrolling by furiously in the background. Besides the unending admiration of my coworkers *cough* *cough* and a shoutout from our CEO, I won a new laptop... which is awesome, since my wife managed to finally kill her old one last week. Thanks!
Ryan Hoover
Tempted to buy so many domains... but then what? 🤔
Ben Tossell
@rrhoover then you are the proud owner of emoji domains
Hailley Griffis
@rrhoover Same thought! I guess I'll redirect it to my website? Waiting to see where the proud owner of 💩.ws points their domain 😏 so far it just says "woot"
NotAGuru
@rrhoover Ryan if you purchased any, do you still own them or did godaddy remove them from your account?
Cruz
fun stuff, just got 💔😱📓.ws (although not a fan of godaddy, gotta transfer it to namecheap this weekend)
Naseem Raad
@gcwelborn Did it actually work for you? I am bought 5 and nothing has happened yet!
Cruz
@naseem_raad what do you mean nothing has happened? you don't own the domain?
Naseem Raad
@gcwelborn I have bought 5 and they charged me but GoDaddy has not shown me the domains yet.
Richard Liriano
@naseem_raad same issue. I bought one and I don't see it as a domain within GoDaddy. @jonroig please help. Thanks. 😉
Jon Roig
@rliriano @naseem_raad That's weird... it uses the main GoDaddy cart process, so it should be just like registering a normal domain. I don't have a lot of insight into why that wouldn't work, but if it gives you trouble, I'd definitely contact GoDaddy customer service. (They're pretty good.) If you can't get help, hit me up and I'll see what I can do.

Welcome to the future folks - register emoji domains! @nivo0o0 you'll obviously love this too. Dread to think what would be done with this
Jon Roig
@bentossell Thanks for sharing this! I really appreciate it! Always satisfying to finish a project a 3:00 am, get a few hours of restless sleep, and wake up to people actually using the thing I built. That's why I love being a Developer!
Giacomo Lawrance
How are you meant to be able to use this on desktop? :/
Giacomo Lawrance
@johannetzler Surely that limits the amount of people that can see it?
Bruno Lemos
@giacomolaw Cmd + Ctrl + Space on a mac opens the emoji keyboard
Giacomo Lawrance
@brunolemos What about Windows? ;)
André J
Any 1 char emoji domains left?
Steve Messer
@eonpilot Don't think so, I checked *a lot* about a year ago.
Fred Rivett
@eonpilot Yep, quite a lot if you hunt around. Even some face ones: https://xn--qeiaa.ws/domain/%F0%... Note: I didn't just spend the last couple hours looking 👀
André J
@fredrivett 🤔 Couln't find any....I would'nt mind 🍌@gmail.com though....I'll keep my 👀 peeled 😜

com'on facebook this is 2016
Amit Mondal
How did it work for you guys? I bought 💥🔑.ws for https://pulpkey.com :) Just got the order confirmation from GoDaddy but they are not showing the domain in the dashboard. When called they said the registry failed to process the domains. Anyone else?
Amit Mondal
@ma1ish I got it finally. Reflecting on dashboard. How about you?
Tony Brix
Too many choices
frizzle
why are they all .ws ?
Jay Harris
@akawiseguy_ From the site: ".WS the only Top Level Domain (TLD) accepting emojis."
Daniel Kempe
Bought 💷.ws for some reason :-)
Dun
bought 🌵🌵🌵.ws but does not show in my account, only a receipt.
James Jennings
I'm actually shocked that 🌮.ws doesn't redirect to Taco Bell in some way.
Anna Marie Clifton
Currently own: 🕴.ws 👌👍.ws 👍👌.ws 🔛🔝🔛🔛.ws and of course... 🍑🍆.ws

@sagivo Where can I view the results?
JM Flores Chirinos
I love the idea! I'ts a shame emojis are not kept in the address bar... I mean you don't see this: ❤️❤️❤️.ws but this https://xn--qeiaa.ws Do you think this could be "corrected" in the future?
Jon Roig
@jamil_flores_chirinos It does work in Safari, both mobile and desktop. Chrome is still an issue: there's a "bug" being tracked on Chromium, so it's possible this will change in the future: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chro...
JM Flores Chirinos
@jonroig Thanks Jon and sorry for replying this late. I will follow your updates. Anyways, your domains rock! 🤘
Jamie Perkins
Definitely curious how this will be used. No doubt url regexes will choke on them, but they have the cool factor for sure.
Jon Roig
@inorganik Oh man... there's all kinds of weirdness dealing with UTF-8 domains. Even getting a character count is kind of strange.
Jon Roig
@inorganik Here's the source I used to strip characters. I'm not sure I can vouch for it 100%, but it seemed to work: http://stackoverflow.com/questio...

@jonroig Great to see cool product from AZ .
Jon Roig
@keyul Thanks man. Gotta rep for the 480!
