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!

need --suggest "..." --max 100
I'm wanting to add something like this.

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

just alphabetically easier to read imo
good suggestion

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

Agreed. I’d provide two lists both sorted. First a list of taken then a list of available.
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
