The 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.

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. 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.

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

As others have noted, the emails frequently include the sender's actual GitHub username or organization in the body or signature.

Attribution isn't speculative. The DKIM/SPF headers show the messages are authenticated and sent through the company's own mail servers, signed by their domain. These are not spoofed "[email protected]" messages. I include the original headers in every abuse report.

In several cases I've engaged directly. One founder replied to my "stop spamming" email and later sent me a LinkedIn request. When the name in the signature, the GitHub profile, the authenticated sending domain, and the LinkedIn account all align, the hacked-account explanation no longer fits the facts.

By visiting the account and noticing that it still has activity long after the report.

After Bun reported a 10x token reduction by serving markdown docs to Claude Code, I implemented the same approach for our docs site.

I can't speak on Knoxville because I've only spent a day there, but I've spent a good bit of time around Amarillo mostly from driving between CO and TX over a hundred times, although not really in the suburbs.

Saw a lot of beat up trucks that looked like they were owned by blue collar folks and used for truck things. But of course there's also plenty of brodozers, which I'm assuming are also fairly common in Knoxville.
