Which domain name should we choose for the PWA? #3

Searching for "ampersand" yields very expensive results we won't be able to purchase in this current life; so we need a more creative approach.

Please suggest domain names we could use!

i mean low hanging fruit but treble.systems might work, given the two symbols are sometimes combined?

I wondered if there was some permutation of Ampersand we could try first. Or else, I'd be down to a full rebranding... but what?

ampersand and treble clef are somtimes combined to make what i think is called a treblesand, it seems to be a newer thing, idk

also yeah fair i was curious and looked around at amepersands but didnt get far, though we always have a tough time with that kinda stuff sdbjkgkjsdbsdjkg

how so? from what i can tell, ampersand.tools and ampersand.software could work, and don't seem to be "very expensive" (at least on namecheap; all the domains i'm bringing up are "affordable" based on prices listed on namecheap). they're not exactly cheap but uh, they aren't on the scale of hundreds of dollars. ampersand.rocks is also an option, that's cheaper than ampersand.tools or ampersand.software. ampersand.quest is even cheaper, although "quest" is maybe a weird choice of TLD semantically? but also, if you're willing to rebrand to match the domain, it would maybe make sense to rebrand it as a plural questmaster? genuinely no idea what that would look like, but just throwing it out there. ampersand.day could make sense. like the app is called ampersand, and it's about logging your day or whatever. ampersand.city costs like twice as much as ampersand.day but still fits within my subjective criteria of "affordable domains" (and is still cheaper than ampersand.tools or ampersand.software), and it has a cute aura to it. the cheapest that seesms to be possible is something like ampersand.cam at less than $10 per year, and while this TLD is mostly irrelevant to ampersand, it's still got a cute ring to it imo and of course if pricing is a huge concern, it's not like, a tragedy to have this domain?

so like, yeah, at a surface level most ampersand.* domains are fairly expensive. but you don't have to even deviate with any clever URL hacks to get still fairly decent options. you just gotta look more deeply beyond the first few search results
