To be clear, we do own the domain. It was registered about ~7 days ago. It's just not deployed yet.


May want to double check that: domain data shows it was only registered today about an hour ago: https://client.rdap.org/?type=domain&object=doctree.dev

It was definitely available to purchase when I commented


..huh, yep, you're right. That's.. super embarrassing and huge screw up on my part, uhg. I was 100% positive I submitted the order through Namecheap before pushing the repo up to GitHub for this exact reason, and that it went through.. but yeah, looks like I didn't and we don't own it. :(

Good news is we've got doctree.org, so will be using that instead. I've removed all references to the other domain.

If it was a good samaritan, shoot me an email -> [email protected]


I love namecheap but I have walked away thinking I’ve completed an order to find that there’s a second order confirmation screen numerous times.


This was probably it.. luckily, it seems like it may have been a good samaritan from HN, they reached out to me just now. People here rock :)
