# domlapse

> A timelapse of the internet. domlapse watches the public Certificate Transparency (CT) stream, screenshots every newly-registered domain from "birth", and re-captures it on a Fibonacci schedule (day 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34…) to reveal how a site develops over time — plus live keyword, hosting-platform, and TLD intelligence derived from the same stream.

domlapse is a free, public, read-only intelligence site. Every TLS certificate issued is treated as a domain taking its first breath; the registrable domain (e.g. `foo.pages.dev` → `pages.dev`) is screenshotted by a distributed render fleet and re-captured over time. The screenshots are the single source of truth; the counts power keyword, platform and TLD analytics.

## Pages
- [Home](https://domlapse.com/): live stats, the development-journey timelapse, freshly-screenshotted domains (filterable by extension), the keyword "zeitgeist" (trending name-tokens, today vs 7-day baseline), hosting-platform launch velocity, and per-TLD development rates.
- [Lab notebook](https://domlapse.com/blog/): a weekly, automatically-generated digest of what the certificate stream revealed — trending tokens, fastest-growing platforms, which TLDs actually get built, and notable freshly-developed domains.
- [Changelog](https://domlapse.com/changelog): what changed on the site and the underlying pipeline.

## Live data (JSON)
- [Summary stats](https://domlapse.com/api/stats): domains tracked, screenshots captured, platforms watched, naked-domain sightings today.
- [Freshly screenshotted](https://domlapse.com/api/feed): newest domains captured by the fleet (optionally `?tld=ai`).
- [Keyword zeitgeist](https://domlapse.com/api/zeitgeist): trending SLD tokens with today-vs-baseline deltas.
- [Platform velocity](https://domlapse.com/api/platforms): distinct new subdomains per hosting platform (pages.dev, vercel.app, …).
- [TLD development](https://domlapse.com/api/tlds): per-extension sightings and the share that develop past a "coming soon" page.
- [Development timelapse](https://domlapse.com/api/timelapse): per-domain screenshot filmstrips over time.

## About
- Method: public CT stream → registrable domain → distributed screenshot fleet → spaced-repetition (Fibonacci) re-capture → entropy-based "developed" detection.
- Sibling site: [grabs.in](https://grabs.in) — a live feed of newly-screenshotted domains.
- Not affiliated with any registrar or certificate authority. Derived entirely from public Certificate Transparency logs.
