                    V2 of BeachfrontDigital is live!

Abstract

   Oh snap, that new new is launched dude!

Body

   As I'm writing this, I just remembered that I planned to launch V2 at
   the end of April. I did it!

   Please give it an upvote on ProductHunt[1]!

   Over the past 24 hours, I've been taking in early feedback ranging
   from UI, UX, and backend issues. As you can imagine, there's still a
   lot to do.

   Here's a list of what you can currently do as a user:

   - import/export domains (a template is provided[2] for importing).
   - add domains and registrar/expiration info will automatically get
     added (in most cases)
   - add wishlist domains

   Not a huge list but I think the main draw will be the personal
   analytics. To my knowledge, no other registrar does this and they
   *certainly* don't allow you to see the domains you have registered
   elsewhere. Here is what you can expect to see after adding domains:

   ๐Ÿ“ธ[Analytical shot of BeachfrontDigital][IMG3]

   - a conversational readout of your domain portfolio
   - total number of domains
   - number of domains renewing this month
   - number of domains renewing this year
   - number of domains renewing next year
   - total number of TLDs (the text after the period in URLs, `.com`,
     `.net`, `.space`, &c)
   - total number of registrars (the companies you buy your
     domains from)
   - your favorite registrar
   - your favorite TLD
   - total amount of money you're spending annually to renew
     your domains
   - your cheapest domain
   - your most expensive domain

   ๐Ÿ“ธ[Another analytical shot of BeachfrontDigital][IMG4]

   You can also see this data in chart form, which is arguably *much*
   more impressive-looking. Currently, the visual data displays:

   - the number of domain renewals occurring per month
   - the amount of money you're paying per month
   - the amount of money you pay each registrar per year
   - the number of domains you've registered per registrar
   - the amount of domains you own per TLD

   Those screenshots above are from my own domain portfolio and I can
   gleam some interesting information from the dataโ€ฆ

   - I already knew this, but most of my domains come from Tucows, the
     parent company of Hover.
   - Three times a year, I seem to get a burst of inspiration and buy
     domain names. Also, I need to check what month it is before buying
     something extravagant.
   - My favorite TLDs are `.online` and `.com` (my first domain name was
     `pw-software.com` and it's still live to this day).

   Anyhoo, all this to say that V2 of BeachfrontDigital is live and
   available at beachfront.digital[3]. Check it out and let me know what
   you think! ๐Ÿ•ธ
