What exactly is this doing? Expiry notifications are offered by pretty much every registry already? Nameserver management also confuses me. Is this centralizing DNS from all providers or just the NS records?

really odd that it basically doesn't tell or show you anything specific about the features. no screenshots of the service, or documentation to know exactly what it does or how it works

Adding extra emails to your inbox on top of the registry emails

It's an ICANN requirement. They all do it.

That's a fair observation. The product is definitely more useful for people managing dozens or hundreds of domains than for someone with a handful of domains on a single registrar.

I built it because I found myself dealing with domains spread across multiple registrars, each with different interfaces and workflows. The goal isn't to replace registrar features like auto-renewal, but to reduce the operational overhead of managing a larger portfolio from one place.

So…we’re going to pay money to be reminded to pay money for domains?

“But GPT said it is a good idea”

Turn on auto-renew and attach a CC?

Oh, fun: anti-malware, anti-spyware, or anti-adware protections are giving me nothing but a blank page. Maybe don’t write a website that has user-hostile behaviours?

Thanks for pointing that out. That's definitely not intentional.

I haven't seen reports of security tools blocking the site before, but if you're willing to share which extension, browser, or filter list is causing it, I'd like to investigate. The site should work without trackers, ads, or third-party scripts that would trigger blocking.

If you can provide any details, I'll try to reproduce and fix it.

Porkbun early auto renew (45 days if I'm not mistaken) works better instead, and various domain name providers should have similar features.

Or park with a decent grace period. Resellerclub gives me 60 days after expiry.

My guess is the author uses a terrible and abusive registrar and isn’t aware that not all registrars are terrible and abusive.

My guess is the author is a "domainer" (i.e. someone who manages a large portfolio of domains for resale) and doesn't realize that their needs are atypical.

You need a screenshot of the UI instead of a 16-pages AI-generated brand guideline.

Thats valid, will add this.

Should have been a calendar item..
