One-click copying: Every DNS record now has a copy button. No more selecting text and hoping you got the whole record. Better data visualization: Organized the information hierarchy so you're not hunting through walls of text Responsive design: Actually works properly on mobile (revolutionary, I know) Faster queries: Optimized the DNS lookups and added proper caching
The backend still does the same comprehensive checks - MX records, nameservers, SOA, blacklists, etc. But now you can actually parse the results without squinting. Built it at namegator.net/intodns if anyone wants to try it. Still free, obviously. The interesting technical challenge was maintaining query speed while adding the UX improvements. Had to rethink how we batch the DNS requests and present progressive results. What DNS debugging tools do you folks use? Always curious about other approaches to this problem space.
