Show HN: Online DNS Client
- pul 6y agoHi HN! Since Corona hit, I found myself with some extra free time, so I decided to start a new side project. I’ve been building, and recently launched, an online DNS client. There are many similar sites already, but I found most to be clunky and not user friendly at best. My design goal for nslookup.io is for it to be simple yet powerful. Features - All DNS types - Authoritative queries, popular DNS caches (8.8.8.8 et. al.), and local DNS servers - Autocomplete for the 1 million most popular domain names using Tranco [1] - Browser plugins for all major browsers (except Safari) [2][3][4] - Parsed and formatted output, or raw DNS responses - Punycode [5] support Tech At the moment, I'm using Scala, ZIO, http4s, Vue with plain js, Docker, docker-compose, Vultr, CloudFlare, Gitlab CI, StatusCake and Humio and a couple of small open source projects. I think I’ll refactor the front-end to use webpack and typescript, but plain javascript got me started faster. Ask me anything :) [1] https://tranco-list.eu/list/YWVG/1000000 https://tranco-list.eu/list/YWVG/1000000 [2] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nslookup-find-dns-records/kedbaefjfjpplphppofakpfldhimhcio https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nslookup-find-dns-...
