Hey PH! We're really excited to launch this today. Many of us have gone through the hassle of setting up new domains. It doesn't need to be so complicated or cost so much. With picnic, we've reduced all the noise, clutter, and endless forms down to the absolute minimum to get something up and running.
ourfirstpicnic.com was the first live domain we created and took 30 seconds to make and 3 minutes to go live.
We're here to answer any questions you might have. Hope you enjoy!
Wow! I love the concept and the simplicity you guys have achieved is astounding. I can really see this being useful for people wanting to make an extremely simple website in a matter of seconds.
That would be helpful for all the people that have domain names ideas and never have time to build product with it.
Would also be interested by the API! :)
@eelcojellema 's vision with a marketplace is interesting as well.
Using Typeform API, I think you can also display a Typeform, to collect email addresses.
congratz! Love this idea! May you bypass product hunt hyping and get some light. I think this is very cool. I just have to remember to remember it for the time I will need it.
My advice is to make sure people know they can edit it (I've seen it in the copy but I think it should be more prominent.) and how simple it is to edit (Well just repaste something there). As It's also massively important to make sure people feel safe to know they can update it. If you can replace the whole old school ftp as well I think you may have a winner!
Wow, I can see this becoming super useful for testing ideas and launching mvps. I also love how straightforward it is. It takes 30 seconds to understand what Picnic does and if it can be helpful for you :)
Wow, this is fantastic. Simple and cheap. What happens after the first year of hosting, what does the pricing look like then? Also, the ability to throw in a CSS file would be awesome as well.
@ghobs91 thanks! we are going to add more files soon, but for now, you can inline the css. pricing for renewal is listed here. It's usually the same, depends on the TLD.
