NsLookup

Hi indie hackers!

NsLookup launched on PH today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nslookup

Ruurtjan here from NsLookup.io. This has been my corona project for the past half year. As always it’s taken much more time than I anticipated, and there’s still a lot to be done.

The motivation for this build was the mediocre sites currently ranking on ‘nslookup’ and ‘nslookup online’ on Google. The UX is horrible and design dates from the 90’s. It was time for a modern take on a simple web tool.

In terms of features and UX, these are the things I’ll be working on first:
📄 Parsing for all DNS records (e.g. visualize the rules for SPF records)
🌍 Add data that isn’t in the records directly (e.g. IP location for A/AAAA records)
✅ Automated checks (e.g. HTTP status codes and ping for A/AAAA)

Is there anything else you think would improve nslookup.io?

Just deployed http://nslookup.io, built with Scala, ZIO and Vue.

I've stripped down so much functionality that I'm almost embarrassed how simplistic it is. For example, it doesn't even support authoritative DNS queries. So there's still much to be done, but happy to have the first version live :)
