pushcx: Issues are disabled on the repo, so describing here. =^)

When unauthenticated there are two links to https://barnacl.es/invitations/request in the primary navigation; one under “Sign Barnacles” and another under “Sign Up Now”. There’s a third instance in the footer links as well, under “Join Barnacles”.

I’d suggest one link, in the main nav, with the “Join Barnacles” text.

And for folks setting up their own site, here are the available lobste.rs-like domain names I could find:

• alpac.as
• hyen.as
• iguan.as
• impal.as
• pum.as
• barnacl.es
• anteate.rs
• flounde.rs
• grasshoppe.rs
• hamste.rs
• salamande.rs
• tapi.rs
• terrie.rs

There isn’t really any nice term for this business niche to build off, I think things like “micropreneur” and “entreprogrammer” (that one might be tongue-in-cheek) are not good, and “startups” and such has been dominated by the VC culture. Barnacl.es seemed nice and tenacious like small biz owners, and I like that it was also nautical.

I generated the list by finding a kid-oriented site with a big list of animals (because if a kid wouldn’t find it neat, nobody will know its name anyways), checking country codes, and checking for animals ending in that. So it’s a totally error-prone process, maybe there’s more out there. Good luck. :)
