@jakobsch A year or two back I did some research using Semrush and found plenty of exact match .infos still ranking in the US and elsewhere. There are some quirks too - like I think I recall .biz is particularly popular in Germany?
Personally I have a .me, a .click, a .today, and a .company all ranking top 10 for various competitive commercial terms (eg 5-10k searches/mo, >$3 CPC)
That said for a serious app type project I would aim for a .com or perhaps .org if it was non profit.
For quick tests and projects where I don't know if I still will be focusing on it next year I'll buy any old $0.88 domain from Namecheap that roughly fits my site, with a view to upgrading later if it works out, or just dropping it if it fails.
Always good to be aware too that aside from the hacking angle even some of the TLDs favoured by makers are pretty poorly run: www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07…
