Today I learned that Google has a special Top-Level Domain (TLD) called .new that allows users to quickly create new documents or projects in various Google services. For example, docs.new opens a new Google Docs document, keep.new creates a new Google Keep note, and meet.new starts a new Google Meet call.

And actually, this TLD is not exclusive to Google’s services.

• repo.new creates a new GitHub repository.
• excel.new opens a new Microsoft Excel document.
• pen.new opens a new CodePen project.

You can find all the .new shortcuts on whats.new.
