Nice to see first-class RDAP support. Feature Request: BGP route lookup using looking glasses of your choice, and Peeringdb lookup for the ASN. https://www.peeringdb.com/apidocs/
Thanks for the request! Shipped both in https://github.com/retlehs/quien/pull/4

There's a Kroger grocery store near my house. It's very convenient -- I'm near it almost every day I'm alive. They have all kinds of things there, including factory-made bread and factory-made eggs. There's also a tiny little Amish bakery that I know of. They make all kinds of things there, but the most interesting to me are the loaves of plain white bread that they bake every day (except Sunday) in their wood-fired…
> Does not specify if it's vibe coded or not, which I think should be normal practice now I am trying to say that when people freely share software with the world, I do not think you are entitled to try to add conditions. People are free to share whatever they like, in the conditions they like - in this case the MIT license. Everybody else is free to take the code AS IS. There is a difference between a commercial tra…
If it's free (libre) software, then it is shared freely. Others are free to take and use it. They can also change it; they don't have to accept it as it is. The existing code can be molded to be something different, or the ideas copied and used in some new implementation.
We're free to hype it up and become huge supporters. We're free to be critical and dismissive of of it. We're free talk about these things.
We're even free to leave the software where it is and walk away from it while bitching and moaning the entire time we do so.
People aren't beholden to the author, and the author isn't beholden to the end-user. We're all mutually free of those kinds of chains.

That's just a preferential statement wrapped up in a critical package. It could be stated with a greater abundance of tact, but it's no better nor worse than stating "Doesn't have a GPL-compatible license, which I think should be normal practice now".
(We're free to act tactlessly.)

Kroger has bakeries within their stores where they bake bread they sell.
But the things from that bakery are made as the product of a soulless megacorp. The process may occur in-store, but it is prescribed from on-high, not invented or tweaked locally. And bread from the Kroger bakery costs more to buy than bread from this Amish bakery does.
So for those reasons, and some others that I could probably never properly articulate, having bread from the Kroger bakery in my kitchen does not enhance my joy. It instead diminishes it.
Personal preferences can be weird. In this instance, I prefer to actively avoid things from the Kroger bakery.

Another feature request. Why not have a nice webui interface to this? Obviously could just vibecode something on top of what you did but putting it out there that that would be cool

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

Why 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
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.

This 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.

A little gross that v0 just always goes with NextJS/TS no matter what, but it did a decent job

Everyone asking was this vibe coded should calm down. Instead we should just have automated ways to audit the code to see if it’s secure, see if it’s going to steal our keys, etc. If it provides value who cares? I mean we could read the code to see if it does anything nefarious. Or have a bought do a check or checks. But asking every time there’s a show HN is it vibe coded is such gatekeeping elitest nonsense it make…
