I built a DNS resolver from scratch in Rust – no DNS libraries

I built a DNS resolver that lets me use https://frontend.numa instead of localhost:5173 — auto-generated TLS certs, WebSocket passthrough, path routing. No mkcert, no nginx, no /etc/hosts.

In plain words

This is a DNS resolver written in Rust that enables developers to access local services using custom domain names with HTTPS instead of localhost addresses. It automatically generates TLS certificates, supports WebSocket connections, and handles path-based routing without requiring additional tools like mkcert, nginx, or manual hosts file editing. The tool is designed for developers who want to simplify local development environments.

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
