What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A SaaS monitoring tool that polls global DNS resolvers and triggers webhooks upon successful propagation.
  2. A CLI tool that blocks deployment pipelines until DNS records are verified across a specified set of global nodes.
  3. A browser extension that automatically refreshes and notifies the user when a domain's DNS records match the target configuration.

“I always had the pain of constantly dig ing for a domain, and checking if the new expected IP address (or any other record type really) is finally written and propagated into all relevant resolvers.”
