#2I don't think it's anything incredibly special (especially with the ugly bootstrap theme), and you guys probably all have your own domain names anyhow, but I'm just posting it on the off-chance that it might be useful to someone here.
Plus, I quite like 'zzzz' in comparison to the domain names offered by other free dyndns alternatives out there.

Yes, there's a very minimal API - you can find more information at https://zzzz.io/faq/ .
It basically just supports updating the IP address associated with your subdomain. As noted on that page, you can simply GET the URL, and your subdomain will point to the IP you performed the request from, or you can specify an IP address explicitly.

#5Looks cool. IPv6 support would be neat.
Does this work with the AirPort dynamic global hostname? I put my username and password in, but since my IP didn't change since I signed up I couldn't see if it was working right.

#7Personally I use CloudFlare's API to achieve the same, using a small sh-script that I run in cron:

It's very neat, I like the simplicity of the API. If you promise to keep it up for a while, I'll definitely use it!

#9Is there any particular reason you didn't just add your domain to the pool at https://freedns.afraid.org/ ?

Why do you want ipv6 support? There are already ipv6 mechanisms like mobility aren't there (although not set them up yet).
