I had the need for such a service back when I was working on ImprovMX.com.
The checking system I had implemented back then wasn't efficient and had a few false positive.
At the time, I thought the market for such a need was very low so I didn't bother, but now that I'm working on https://getfernand.com, I realize I also need it.
And with the advent of more and more products thanks to AI and the enthusiasm around tech, the market is growing, so it might be worth the effort to release it as a side project.
I took it as a challenge, on two simultaneous front: Technical, and AI.
On the technical side, the aim is to have a highly efficient script able to process millions of DNS record at the lowest time possible. I had to rewrite the script a few times and see how I could optimize it, but my tests lands me at around 500 QPS for now.
I'm testing against Cloudflare's DNS, and I know they have a limit at 1500 QPS, so I can't go much higher (per server), but once I reach that limit, I'll grow horizontally.
For the AI side, my approach was as follow: Use a standard web framework (Sanic in my case), build the API with a proper database structure, and once I'm satisfied with it, ask Claude code to write the OpenAPISpec file.
Once I had it, I used Mintlify to write the doc for this, and the help of Claude to have nicely written guides (rate limit, authentication, etc).
Then, I asked Claude to generate the landing page, and the dashboard system.
So, except for the API and the core of the service, the other parts was mostly written in AI (I fixed some issues, improved the code Claude gave me, but that's all).
Less than three weeks after, the service is almost ready to go live. I still need to clean the code in the Dashboard part, and finalize the touches on the API server, but it can be used already (and it's used by us at Fernand).
I agree that the best thing would be to buy all the various keyboard I hesitate, use them for a while, and finally decide which one is best ... but it's costly :p
Wow, thank you for all these. I didn't knew Incase picked up the Microsoft keyboard but that's a good news (too bad they haven't restarted the "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000", this one was my absolute favorite!
One thing that makes me hesitant to buy one of these, is that I'm hoping that with one such as the Moonlander or the Glove80, I can replace the used part easily, which should cost less in the long run (but maybe I'm wrong here).

I'm not sure there. Keyboards are naturally consumables with moving and friction parts that will eventually need replacement. I'd be worried about whether those companies will still be around in a few years and still offer parts for older keyboards. I'm also not sure if replacing parts makes sense if the original one is 3x or 4x more expensive to begin with.
Personally, I'd just go with what feels most comfortable, and maybe buy two or three of them and store the extras. Paying a hundred or two for something you'll use every day for years isn't a big deal (hopefully), but comfort is!
I saw that the rabbit hole is deep, and I don't want to fall into that one (already slipped a bit). I don't want to solder mine, so buying one already built (such as the glove80 or the moonlander) is already taking too much time for me.
Repairing mine is not possible, it's the wrist support that is worn out and it's glued to the keyboard...
For now, I'm highly hesitant to take a Glove80 with an extra keypad for the numbers, but I still hesitate with one of the original (Microsoft ergonomic desktop, Mobility lab ergo k30W or Logitech K860 ergo, even though most are wireless)
I bought the glove in December 2024. I had a wrist issue, and using the glove solved the issue. It’s pretty uncommon for an ergonomic keyboard to be made for people with small hands (16 cm height), and the Glove80 is perfect for that.
The Perixx I have is the periduo 505. I find the chick-let style keys annoying. I am often hitting the wrong keys. As opposed to before hitting the wrong keys occasionally. Easy to be off a whole row or left and right.
Moonlander ... I think I still have a printer template to check if it fits my desk layout well...
Hacking keyboard I like the most, but it's still a gamble and add-ons almost double my cost. Too much for companies that don't have any distributor locally...
This.
(Thank you!)
