I've noticed you write 'we' everywhere, but as far as I can tell you've done everything by yourself?
Seriously impressive work by the way, and I'm really happy to see such a well-developed project use Go+ActivityPub.
God forbid someone tries to monetize a project he's spent over two and a half years developing/maintaining..
imgur and reddit have become evil, so I wouldn't say it's surprising that their websites/apps stop working when you begin to block tracking and analytics. Both of these companies seem to go out of their way to break functionality for users that try to protect their privacy. I recommend you blame imgur rather than NetGuard.
NetGuard is amazing, really can't recommend it enough.
You can use it to specify which apps are allowed to use WiFi/data, and whether they're allowed to use all the time or only if screen is active. It also allows you to set a hosts file URL and update it with a single click. It has improved my battery life, I rarely see ads (both when using the browser and when using apps), and it force me to use old.reddit.com since reddit.com is blocked by my host file.
I'd love to hear which websites do it properly.
I've been quite busy with work this week, but now that it's weekend I finally had some time to work on the site again.. I've made significant improvements to the domain name finder, and added a button to hide unavailable SLDs/domains.. I hope that will solve the problem for those who are red-green deficient.
Sorry for being a little off-topic, but speaking of GitLab CI's, I really wish Auto DevOps wouldn't be enabled by default/mysteriously when there's no .gitlab-ci.yml and it hasn't been manually enabled. You end up with the red 'build: failed' icon which appears to be impossible to delete/hide even if you disable Pipelines under project permissions and disable everything under CI/CD.
I believe one thing that cause it is changing a repo from private to public without unchecking Pipelines permission (enabled by default). The new GitLab profile pages looks absolutely gorgeous, but I suspect many will be turned off by the highly visible 'build: failed' icons next to the repos, even if those repos contain nothing but a JSON file.. I personally had to resort to deleting the repo and creating a new one to get rid of it. And on that note, clicking on the '/users/username/projects?limit=10&page=2' next button results in the Overview tab turning blank.
I like it a lot, surprised I didn't know about the project until now.. in the GitHub readme you wrote: "I try to build the new big thing for blogging", I personally believe this will be achieved with ActivityPub, but I'm curious to hear how you plan to achieve it?
Thanks :), the reason I didn't add any ability to sort yet is because most two-letter SLDs only have 1-5 TLDs available, but I'd love to add sort support (it would definitely be useful to have when the "domain name finder" (WIP) in the future hopefully displays price as well).
Appreciate the feedback, I admit I failed to consider color blindness when designing the website.
Besides difficulty differentiating between the red and green colors, is the website otherwise readable? I'm thinking adding a button to hide unavailable domains should improve accessibility.

Seems pretty ridiculous to suggest that he can't use such a generic UI..
