Report malicious domains easily without manual whois lookups

I get at least one phishing text message every week, and discovered that reporting malicious domains was a major hassle. You have to first manually do a whois lookup, and since not every registrar includes an abuse contact email in their whois record, you often have to then go to the registrar's website and try to find their abuse reporting section before you can report the domain. I figured something had to exist already for reporting domains directly to their registrars, but I couldn't find anything, so I spun up DomainReporter mostly as a tool to use myself, but also to make the process…

    Hi HN, This is a project [1] I've been working on for a little while and I'm interested in your feedback and point of view. Many of us would have verified a domain name by pasting a string into a DNS TXT record. Some providers ask us to store this DNS TXT record at a domain using a DNS label like "_provider" e.g. _provider.yourdomain.com, and some providers ask that you do it at the zone apex (God help us [2]).
