Over the past weekend, we sold two domain names, generating $949 in sales.
Gryd.app - $250
The first domain was Gryd.app, a creative spelling of the word "grid." We originally priced the domain at $499, but the buyer made an initial offer of $129. We price all of our domains at amounts we believe allow indie makers to purchase easily without negotiations, though we do allow prospective buyers to make offers and invite negotiation. Even though we believe our names are reasonably priced for indie makers, we also recognize that we serve buyers from all over the world, and even a name priced at $499 might be beyond someone's budget. Negotiations continued over a day or so before we finally agreed on $250.
Composure.app - $699
The other domain sold was Composure.app, which went for $699 with no negotiations—the buyer simply purchased it outright as a "buy now" transaction. Neither domain has been developed yet, which isn't surprising since it sometimes takes a while before founders put a domain to use. We'll definitely keep an eye on these domains to see what gets built and will report back if and when they launch.
Quick Turnaround: Delivyr.com
Delivyr.com, the domain we sold in October for $499, was instantly put to use. However, the buyers were already established and operating on Delivyr.io, which explains the quick turnaround in usage.

Web3 domain names (e.g., .eth, .crypto) are gaining adoption as user-owned, decentralized identifiers for wallets, dApps, and identity. They replace long hexadecimal wallet strings with human-readable names and can be used for authentication and decentralized hosting.
However, despite the narrative, Web3 domains have not replaced traditional DNS domains. Most Web3 startups still use standard Web2 TLDs — primarily .com, .io, .xyz, .org, .fi, and .tech, because they offer widespread browser support, SEO, reliability, and user familiarity.
Web3 domains work well for wallet routing and identity inside blockchain ecosystems. They’re less useful for mainstream adoption due to browser limitations, extension requirements, and lack of search visibility.
If you’re building in Web3, it makes sense to own both:
A Web2 domain for your main site and brand
A Web3 domain for identity and transactions
They serve fundamentally different purposes today, and it’s unclear whether Web3 domains will ever fully replace DNS.
Some of you here might really appreciate this domain name find. Noticeably, the .so ccTLD has become popular among the startup crowd, especially among Indie Hackers and Product hunters

You can use Google Keep. It is Google's note keeping service/app and it is free. Google sites and docs also can perform many of the same functions as Keep and are free also.
If the side project is something that can be a real product/service and/or company, as well as monetized, then pursue it. However, maintain your real job (even if it becomes mundane as a result of excitement from side project) until side project becomes viable enough to replace current job, good luck.
