🎉 Major Release: Desktop GUI Application

This is a major release that replaces the Python terminal UI with a modern desktop application built with Tauri and Vue 3.

✨ What's New

Desktop GUI Application

  • Modern Desktop Interface - Native macOS application with beautiful dark theme UI
  • Interactive Dashboard - At-a-glance health overview with color-coded status indicators
  • Real-time Data Loading - Async data fetching with progress indicators
  • Keyboard Navigation - Number keys (1-7) to jump between panels, R to refresh, L for logs

Visual DNSSEC Chain Visualization

  • Complete chain display - Shows root → TLD → domain with all zones
  • Hand-drawn style arrows - Organic, flowing arrows connecting DS records to DNSKEYs
  • Color-coded key tags - Rotating colors for easy visual matching
  • RRSIG signatures - Cryptographic signatures displayed with matching arrows to DNSKEYs
  • Clean, modern design - Dark background sections with clear hierarchy

Custom App Icon

  • Distinctive branding - Dark circle with white "D" letter
  • Orange triangle accent - Prominent orange triangle in top-right corner
  • Universal binary icon - Optimized for both Retina and standard displays

Enhanced Features

  • Certificate Panel - SSL/TLS certificate inspection with chain validation
  • HTTP/HTTPS Panel - Status codes, redirects, response times
  • Registration Panel - WHOIS/RDAP data with expiration tracking
  • Email Panel - MX record display (SPF/DKIM/DMARC coming soon)
  • Command Logs - View all backend commands (dig, openssl, curl) with full output

Dashboard Cards

Each card shows real-time status:

  • DNS - A, AAAA, MX, NS record counts
  • Registration - Domain expiration countdown
  • DNSSEC - Validation status and chain depth
  • Certificate - Days until expiration
  • HTTP/HTTPS - Status code and response time
  • Email - MX record count and hostnames

🔧 Technical Improvements

Architecture

  • Tauri Framework - Rust backend with Vue 3 TypeScript frontend
  • Universal Binary - Single app works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs
  • Pinia State Management - Reactive state stores for all data
  • Vue Router - Smooth navigation between panels
  • Tailwind CSS - Modern, responsive styling

Backend Fixes

  • Certificate Parsing - Fixed PEM parsing by writing to openssl stdin instead of shell echo
  • Store Caching - Proper clearing of all stores when domain changes
  • Error Handling - Better error messages and fallback behavior

Build System

  • macOS Build Script - build-macos.sh creates universal binary with DMG
  • Native DMG Creation - Uses macOS's built-in hdiutil for reliable DMG generation
  • ZIP Distribution - Compressed archive for easy distribution
