Ship
(Probably) The last DomainScan Devlog (#03)
I kind of finished this project before, but forgot to deploy and ship it :)
- Added a README
- Added Cloudflare Workers stuff and prepared to deploy.
I may continue working on this and adding some features, but for now I’m going to be working on some other stuff
Noir - Devlog #02
(a more detailed project description is coming later)
Changes I made:
- Animated tab switching (the selected tab bg now slides around, and changes its size to fit the current tab’s width)
- Set up a (base) custom color theme and converted the default theme to hex for consistency
- Started working on a custom app top bar/header
- Added Hugeicons and created a custom Icon component for consistent look
- Added linting and formatting to the whole monorepo (Biome & Eslint) and fixed some lint errors that came up
- Select prevention on web version for more native app feel
Noir - Devlog #01
(a more detailed project description is coming later)
Initialized the project
I created a monorepo for my project, using Bun Workspaces. It will house the native app, some shared packages, and more.
I also created the Expo-based native app inside the monorepo and started doing work on it:
- basic configs and settings (added Uniwind, RN-Primitives, and RN-Reusables)
- created a custom tabs component (WIP)
DomainScan - Devlog #02
Quick recap: I’m building a web app to help you check domain availability and prices for your next idea.
I started building this because I was tired of checking dozens of domain names (including variations) by hand every time I had a new idea.
Updates
- Added domain saving: You can now click on the “bookmark” button to save a domain for later
- When you search a full domain name (including the TLD), different TLDs are automatically checked too, like classic registrar searches do.
- Added some subtle UI animations for buttons
- Added a “second action” optional parameter for the DomainCard component, for future use :)
Next up: more features and deploying.
If you have ideas for features you’d like to see, I’d love to hear them!
DomainScan - Devlog #01

Features
I finished building the main feature: searching for domains and checking their availability & price through the Cloudflare Registrar API. I also built these features:
- you can enter either a project name and get some (customizable) suggestions or enter a domain name and check just for its availability.
- for multi-word searches, trying both with and without hyphens between the words
- auto adding prefixes from a customizable list (to give you a better chance of finding an available domain)
- customizable TLD list
Tech stack
I’m using TanStack Start, with TanStack Query to cache and optimize the CF Registrar requests.
For the UI, I’m using shadcn/ui components (with BaseUI primitives and HugeIcons).
For persisting settings between website visits/reloads, I’m using usehooks-ts’s useLocalStorage.
Next up: adding more features, polishing the UX, and deploying it.
