Show HN: Online DNS Client
nslookup.io
nslookup.io
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 :)
