I don't see it's as complaining.
OP's project is literally the reverse of taking a traditional desktop software, e.g. a graphic editor, and making it into a web app. Here, it's something that naturally belongs to a web site, but instead packed up into an installable desktop app.
I'd be really curious to see the rationale behind this.
- docuru 5y agoAs I mentioned in other comments: I've been using some web-based tools. Somehow, they don't last (ie. namemesh, or domainsfortherestofus that @pwdisswordfish8 mention went offline for sometimes). Then I thought having a desktop app would be great. For the long term, I don't have to worry the site is down.
- jaywalk 5y agoThis still 100% relies on their servers being up, which is no different than a website. So you absolutely still have to worry about their servers being down, which makes it pointless.
- docuru 5y agoThe whois servers down? It doesn't make sense
- indigodaddy 5y agoExactly. The author appears to be telling you (you being jaywalk) that the application only requires talking out to Whois servers, and does not rely on any application/webserver… You concern as stated does not apply.
