The registry works the same. Everything around it looks different.
A darker, quieter system
The site now runs on a near-black canvas with weight-400 type and hairline rules that fade at their ends. Cards, inputs, and dividers share one treatment, the topbar is sticky, and headings are set in a pixel-matrix display face that suits a project about dot-matrix maps.
Nothing moved. Every route, every record type, and every word of policy does the same job as before — the presentation just stopped getting in the way.
A claim map
The stats page now shows where claimed names come from: a dot-matrix world map with a heat layer built from owners' public GitHub profiles, plus per-continent counts. Clicking a continent dims the rest of the world and spotlights that region's claims.
New claims can also carry a country code, captured from the request's edge-inferred location at the moment of the claim — country granularity only, never a city, never an IP address, and documented on the privacy page.
Agent-readable surfaces
A audit of how machines see the site found real gaps, so the registry now publishes:
- an OpenAPI 3.1 spec at
/openapi.jsoncovering every endpoint, with typed parameters and named scopes - an MCP server at
/.well-known/mcpwithcheck_nameandget_recordtools - RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, rate-limit headers on limited
endpoints, markdown 404s that point agents somewhere useful, and
Accept: text/markdownnegotiation on every page
If you build things with agents, the agent index is the entry point.
What's next
This blog is where new features, fixes worth explaining, and registry
decisions get documented. An RSS feed is available at
/feed.xml, and everything here is in the
public repo as always.
