Hi guys!
I built the basic version of Domainwarden a few months ago as I had a dozen domains all over the place and I wanted to keep an eye on them. It started out very basic with only tracking DNS records and sending emails but it slowly grew from there.
Domainwarden focuses on the domains components and configuration, such as nameservers, DNS records and EPP codes (is domain locked etc), expiry emails and such. This stuff shouldn't change too often, but when it does you really want to know.
I've tried out similar services and while they work, I often felt like the interface was clumsy, didn't have the notification destination I wanted or it restricted too many features behind expensive plans, such as seeing your recorded DNS change history. I want my project to be useful to people, not try to gouge them for money!
Domainwarden is a very typical Laravel project that uses Inertia with React. I'm usually a Vue guy so this project was fun to highlight the differences between the two. Only other notable addition would be that websockets are used (Laravel Reverb) to update the domains' overview page when new monitoring data comes in, it was cool and refreshing automatically is so much cooler than refreshing manually!
I went and wrote the docs as I built the project as that's always been a weak point for me and I think I've done a decent job. Take a look here if you'd like to! https://docs.domainwarden.app
Let me know if you have any questions! I'm a pretty open book and it's fun to talk about projects after all.
