In plain words

Dug is a command-line tool for checking DNS propagation across the globe.

The tool runs locally in the terminal, making it accessible for developers who work primarily in command-line environments and need quick visibility into DNS changes across different geographic locations.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
