Maybe this is a "who whould ever use dropbox" question?

I'm curious what is the use case for something like nslookup.io since I can more conveniently get the same info from the CLI?

In any case congratulations for finding a use case!



> conveniently

For many people it's more convenient to do DNS lookups on nslookup.io than googling the syntax and order of dig arguments, opening a terminal and entering it themselves. Plus, it can be convenient to get an overview of the popular record types, instead of doing 7 dig queries yourself.

> the same info

Nslookup.io provides more info than dig/nslookup CLIs: info about the A/AAAA IPs, logos for hosting providers, parsing DNS records, and more to come ;)

> In any case congratulations for finding a use case!

Thank you!
