Ask HN: What are you using .dev domain for?

Posted by raviojha on Tuesday September 03, 2019 @10:10AM
from the ask-hn dept.

It's been marketed as the tld for devs to use it as a personal web domain.

Do you use it for any other purpose?

Before it became a TLD, .dev was commonly used as an extension in /etc/hosts to point a fake domain to localhost during development.

These days I use .localhost for that.
