Nice to see first-class RDAP support.<p>Feature Request: BGP route lookup using looking glasses of your choice, and Peeringdb lookup for the ASN. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.peeringdb.com&#x2F;apidocs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.peeringdb.com&#x2F;apidocs&#x2F;</a>

Everyone asking was this vibe coded should calm down. Instead we should just have automated ways to audit the code to see if it’s secure, see if it’s going to steal our keys, etc.<p>If it provides value who cares?<p>I mean we could read the code to see if it does anything nefarious. Or have a bought do a check or checks.<p>But asking every time there’s a show HN is it vibe coded is such gatekeeping elitest nonsense it makes me angry.

Looks well done, nice looking TUI. Does not specify if it&#x27;s vibe coded or not, which I think should be normal practice now ;(
