Hi HN!<p>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.<p>Features<p>- All DNS types<p>- Authoritative queries, popular DNS caches (8.8.8.8 et. al.), and local DNS servers<p>- Autocomplete for the 1 million most popular domain names using Tranco [1]<p>- Browser plugins for all major browsers (except Safari) [2][3][4]<p>- Parsed and formatted output, or raw DNS responses<p>- Punycode [5] support<p>Tech<p>At the moment, I&#x27;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.<p>Ask me anything :)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tranco-list.eu&#x2F;list&#x2F;YWVG&#x2F;1000000" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tranco-list.eu&#x2F;list&#x2F;YWVG&#x2F;1000000</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;nslookup-find-dns-records&#x2F;kedbaefjfjpplphppofakpfldhimhcio" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;nslookup-find-dns-...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;nslookup&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;nslookup&#x2F;</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;microsoftedge.microsoft.com&#x2F;addons&#x2F;detail&#x2F;nslookup-find-dns-recor&#x2F;eploggkgnglaanpfpijkbidhbdiphmek" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;microsoftedge.microsoft.com&#x2F;addons&#x2F;detail&#x2F;nslookup-f...</a><p>[5] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Punycode" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Punycode</a>
