Ask HN: What should I do with the domain github.mx? Inspired by this comment [1] I impulsively bought this domain, any ideas on what to actually do with this? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44734639 |

e.g. client requests https://github.mx/llvm/llvm-project, your server fetches the data from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project (using an API or scraping the site), and renders it in a cleaner UI with less HTML and JavaScript.
It would be useful for slow/outdated devices and places with low internet bandwidth. The URL concept is similar to https://github.dev/llvm/llvm-project, which opens the project in a web-hosted VSCode (vaguely the opposite since VSCode is more UI but also more features).
Maybe with some nonsense about MX records :-D
If you are careful and honest it’s not illegal. GitHub might still take the domain but if you aren’t misrepresenting anything you shouldn’t be on the hook for cybersquatting IMHO.
