Everyone's spinning up shiny landing pages, but they're missing the fastest path to action. `.new` domains cut straight to doing.

`.new` domains let you create sheets, send DMs, and much more. They work like a URL-based shortcut to get things done. You can control your actions simply by typing. Since it's an actual top-level domain, it works in any browser. So it's basically a command-line for the internet.

### A Trend Toward Action

The `.new` domain serves as both a shortcut and a branding tool. Companies can use these custom domains to simplify user access and reinforce their brand recognition.

You can explore the full list of `.new` domains on [here](https://nklswbr.com/blog/new-things). But I feel like there is room for more. Here are some ideas for `.new` domains that are still available on the day this post is published:

- box•new
- ~~cron•new~~ \*[taken by Supabase](https://x.com/thorwebdev/status/1864351261702935035)
- lead•new
- appointment•new
- cut•new
- user•new

I wonder how far we can go with this. Thinking of chaining `.new` domain actions just like you can do with CLI piping. 

If that resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a DM at [dm.new/nklswbr](https://dm.new/nklswbr/).
