Show HN: Which TLDs are recognized in Apple Messages (recognized.link)
3 points by derrickstaten 23 days ago | hide | past | favorite
Like many people, i have a bad habit of looking for domains for side projects that never quite get off the ground. One annoyance is knowing which domains will be treated properly in the Apple Messages app. Aka they are tappable hyperlinks.

So i found a list of ~1600 TLDs online, pre-pended `example` to each of them -> example.com, example.ai, etc. Then i manually checked which were expanded in the Apple Messages app.

No one seems to have actually tested a bunch of domains in the Apple Messages app; that's the main contribution here.

Figured others could use this list for themselves. So it's available in a searchable table at https://recognized.link. The tool was even useful for choosing the TLD for the site itself.

Open to feature requests. Obvious ones:

- Android (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/241293/wheres-th...)

- per-TLD links out to domain registrars (e.g. Namecheap)

- download as CSV

Hopefully this saves some folks a few minutes :)
