Why hasn't sh.itjust.works changed to a better domain? (sh.itjust.works)

The current domain is basically invisible to search engines. sh.itjust.works is too long, the .works TLD isn't SEO-friendly, and the "sh." subdomain doesn't add value. Why not use something shorter like itjustworks.com or itjustworks.org instead?

Is this deliberate? Would appreciate if an admin could explain the reason.

What made you think I use Google Search as an engine? My point is that the domain name is long. It doesn't matter whether it's .org or something else. shorter domain name would be better, in my opinion.

There are those things called "bookmarks".

that mostly matters for domains on billboards, flyers and in ads. but you'll only see this domain in links on your computer, where it's just a click regardless of the length.

short name is easy to remember, like a.com, fb.com etc. .works is too long

it would be nice to have an easier to type domain name
