Yeah it's a lot more "just works" than Matrix, still some limitations but improving quickly.

It’s not just websites :-/ Things like Apple private relay (which way too many people seem to have it enabled) are tunnelled via Cloudflare, maybe using warp?

As much as I love the service and enjoy the transparency, I do wonder about the future of smaller operator services as the Internet continues it's descent into a giant mess :-)

Love the keyboard shortcuts in the web interface, killer feature. Also the rules management and folder management is beyond what a lot of other similar providers offer.

FWIW I find https://tldes.com pretty useful for keeping an eye on who is currently offering the best renewal for various TLDs I use.

It would be great to be able to add some additional data beyond the listings to augment decisions. For example passmark scores or power usage for an identified CPU. I see there is very little standard format in the listings, so might need s

https://tldes.com/ is an alternative site for those look for pricing comparison for the different TLDs/gTLDs. Personally I'm currently using Sav and Porkbun, with good experiences with Namesilo in the recent past.

If you're a supporter of someones work in general, it should be far easier to just ignore what you perceive to be a mistake or blemish, and just move on. The soon the better you do X, is quite an authoritative stance to take.

I also wish they had a standalone app to help manage the addresses. Like so many of their good features, eg password management, it can be a bit too hidden for those up us who want some control!
