An open-source platform for real-estate agencies to publish listings on their own domains while managing properties, agents, and leads in one workspace.

Why it surfaced

Its pitch is unusually clear: “Stop renting your shopfront from a portal.” The site demonstrates multilingual, market-specific agency pages, synced listings and lead context, and a choice between managed hosting and self-hosting under AGPLv3.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
