Continued working on the existing lookup system and made a few more improvements to both the frontend and backend

• Expanded the WHOIS integration further and added more of the raw registry information into the processed response
• The WHOIS section can now surface details such as the inetnum/IP range, network name, organization, country, abuse contact, admin and technical contacts, ASN, route and origin AS, along with the relevant registry information
• For example, an APNIC response can now expose information like the 2.2.2.2 - 2.2.255.255 address range, organization details, abuse mailbox, AS55836 route information and the corresponding network contacts instead of showing only basic IP metadata
• Refined the WHOIS parsing and presentation so the large responses are filtered and displayed in a much more readable format
• Worked on the backend again to make the lookup pipeline more reliable and prepared the system for the bigger location and website-tracking direction i’m planning to take this project towards
• Ran into another unexpected issue with the map tile provider, which recently started requiring an API key for requests even though the same setup had been working without one before. since buying a key isn’t really an option for this project, i’m currently looking into alternative tile providers that can work reliably without introducing another paid dependency
• Also ran into a few deployment issues while putting the updated backend and frontend online, but tracked them down, fixed the server-side and frontend build issues and got the complete application deployed successfully
• Did a final pass over the lookup flow, WHOIS data rendering and the rest of the interface to make sure everything was working together properly

and that’s basically it for this version. the WHOIS system is now fully integrated and the project is live again. i’m also working on turning this into something more useful than just an IP lookup tool, with a proper location and website tracking workflow planned for the next few updates. :)
