The goal was a fast terminal tool, and I'm not ruling it out, but considering how hard it would be to compete in the SERPs with other whois sites, I don't think I'd spend the time on it right now
- indigodaddy 5mo agoWhy would you care about competing with other whois sites? I don't think it's going to be a money making venture in any case, and you could easily host it for free on fly.io
- retlehs 5mo agoThis was really just a personal tool I built because I got tired of parsing default whois output. Don’t have the bandwidth for a web UI right now, maybe down the road. It’s not about making money. It’s more that there’s no real way for people to discover it by competing for visibility on whois-related searches against established sites.

- retlehs 5mo agoThe link doesn’t load for me FYI. A web version would be in Go, reusing the TUI internals. All doable, just not where I want to spend my time right now. I’ll likely get to it at some point.
