Thanks! I pretty much did this as a learning/hobby side project. Back in 2021, I was dealing with a lot of K8s clusters and had recently learnt what about ndots[1]. That prompted me to build an easy to use DNS client which can avoid surprises about the host environment.

I've built this using Go, my daily driver. It doesn't use any CLI frameworks, that was mostly out of choice as I didn't want to add external deps unless really required. My favourite part was to build this small help.go[3] utility which renders colored/formatted help text.

Over the time I got some good quality external contributions, especially the one from @jedisct1 for adding DNSCrypt[2] support to it.

Releasing a v1.0 has been on the back burner forever (like, a whole year+ :'). Life, other projects, and probably a bit of procrastination got in the way. Finally sat down last week and forced myself to come up with a deadline to push this out.
