I switched out whois with RDAP as the primary.

It now goes RDAP -> DNS check -> whois.

Much faster, too. Thank you again for this!

I'd assume so? Usernames on HN and GitHub match?

Yeah! Excited to have a short circuit.

Good advice!

DNS check -> RDAP seems to be the right way to take this.

This is good to know! I'll migrate this over to RDAP

I agree. That's why I love using a permutation tool like this. It has had some surprising finds so far.

Though it's still a cope for the real problem of domain squatting.

Good eye.

Fixed now :)

Yep! There's supposed to be two examples there... Fixed now :)

I wonder if it'll be good to go from a line-by-line print to an actual TUI. That'd make sorting + dynamically inserting new domains make sense
Re:Tldx – CLI tool for fast domain name discovery on Sunday June 01, 2025 @01:27AM (#44148844)
good suggestion

Currently, it just streams out whichever whois servers respond first. Sorting is a good improvement!

I'm wanting to add something like this.

Besides length, what would you think would be a good way to sort suggestions here?

I’m always building small tools for myself that end up buried in private repos. I figured it was time to start sharing a few that others might find useful.

Just published tldx, a CLI tool I use to quickly check if a domain name is available across a bunch of TLDs and variations.

Hopefully, some of you CLI enthusiasts can find it useful!
