loves.rs - Stardance

Ship #1

I made a website where you claim free subdomains on my domain, loves.rs . I bought loves.rs because I love Rust and wanted to have tathya.loves.rs as a domain. I made this project because I then realized that other people might also want a subdomain on loves.rs , and that there was no downside to me giving away free subdomains for everyone.

The most challenging part was adapting to SolidStart. I've always used SvelteKit for my web projects, so I wanted to trying something new. I don't think I'll be using SolidStart again since it was extremely inconvenient to use.

To claim a subdomain for yourself simply sign in with GitHub, star my repo, and claim upto 3 subdomains!

Wasn’t planning on shipping to stardance but oh well.

I built loves.rs, a free subdomain service for (mostly) Rust projects and developers (though it is open for everyone!) The idea is that if you have a project - for example, called harbor - you can claim a subdomain on loves.rs to showcase your project - like harbor.loves.rs

The process to claiming a subdomain is:

Sign in with GitHub on the website .
Star my repository.
Claim upto 3 subdomains.

The subdomains are provisioned instantly so there’s no waiting time between claiming the subdomain and being able to use it.
Once you claim a subdomain you’re given full DNS control over it, so you can add whatever DNS records you need yourself.

Features:

Upto 3 subdomains (per GitHub account).
Full DNS control over subdomains.
Support for A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, PTR , and NS records (MX probably coming soon!).
Nested subdomains (you can have as many nested subdomains as you want on each of your subdomains).

I built it with SolidStart because I usually use SvelteKit for my web projects but wanted to try something new.
DNS is powered by Raincloudns (DNS service made by @Cyteon)
