14 years ago on HN a domain name generator launched called Impossibility (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1874465), as a bloke with a fair few side projects I really enjoyed the speed and simplicity
The site shut down a few years ago (and the domain name was bought by a porn site hence @dang having to remove the URL) and I've not found a service that replicates it to my liking.
So, I rebuilt it, I've got a few tweaks still to make but I'm pleased with the current speed and simplicity of it.
We decided that going back and making LW work with thousands of free users wouldn't be the best use of our time but we could use the core API of Little Warden and build another website from it thus Free Domain Alerts was born.
Their honeymoon, creation of Lanyrd and then eventual sale was a lovely story to follow over the years (and it's certainly part of an inspiration to our latest project)
Here's to 20 more years of blogging!
