I’m working on Newsy.

https://www.newsy.co

I have quite a few domain names that I have purchased over the years that I am not doing anything with at the moment.

I wanted minimal amount of work to make a good use out of these domains.

So I built Newsy. It turns your idle domain into a news aggregator.

I’m nearly there. You can sign up and I’ll invite you to check it out!

I like this and all the best. I have access to close to 50 idle domains I will try see how I can put them to use. Is there a way to customize the news such that it is relevant to each domain?

Yep! That's the idea! :) Via RSS feeds + keywords.

If by any chance you would like help better testing it, I have so many parked domains that I would like to have them on asap. Is there is any other way I can contact you or you can reach me on nash at hoopsup dot com

Interesting idea though I didn't see any examples of what that looks like on your website or links to live sites doing this.

Hard to think about it just in my mind with no visuals.

Here's an example for one of my idle domains.

Nice try with the: "You are currently {random} in the queue."
