Go Verify Domain

Project Overview

GoVerifyDomain is a tool developed to verify domain ownership.

• The project was undertaken to test and enhance my knowledge of Go programming.
• It is designed to be a simple, efficient, and reliable way to verify domain ownership by checking DNS records.

Role and Responsibilities

As the sole developer of the project, I was responsible for the entire lifecycle, including:

• Ideation and planning
• Writing the code in Go
• Testing and debugging
• Documentation

Challenges

• Learning Go and understanding its idiomatic practices.
• Handling DNS records efficiently.
• Ensuring the tool could handle various edge cases in domain verification.

Solution

• Studied Go documentation and best practices to write clean and efficient code.
• Used Go’s net package to handle DNS lookups.
• Implemented robust error handling and validation to manage edge cases effectively.

Key Learnings

• Gained a solid understanding of Go programming.
• Learned how to handle DNS records programmatically.
• Improved skills in writing clean, maintainable code and documentation.

Future Improvements

• Add more features such as batch domain verification.
• Improve the user interface and add more detailed output.
• Write more comprehensive tests to cover additional edge cases.
