Hey pul!

I did actually find nslookup.io while researching whether I should build this or not, and based some of my user interface choices off what I saw there.

I ultimately decided to make inspector.improvmx.com because I wanted something simpler.

A lot of our customers at improvmx are non-technical (yet still want to figure out how to setup their DNS entries themselves or with our help, and hopefully never touch it again). I think nslookup.io is more powerful and gives more information, but a lot of our customers would take one look at the site and immediately their eyes would glaze over from the technical overload.

So it's ultimately less about things you could add, but rather the simple lack of features is something I'm looking for, which is targeting a different use case.

Anyway, please let me know if you have any thoughts/suggestions for inspector.improvmx.com!

Yeah, your tool is a lot simpler and can be less overwhelming for people who are not familiar with DNS. Don't think I'll remove any features from Nslookup. Good to have multiple DNS checkers for people to choose from :)
