## What it is
dnsglobe is a Rust terminal UI (TUI) application that checks DNS record propagation across 34 public resolvers worldwide, displaying results in a table and on a world map or rotating 3D globe. It re-polls in watch mode until a record has propagated everywhere, grouping consistent answers and flagging outliers.

## Use cases
- check if my DNS record has propagated globally
- watch DNS propagation from the terminal
- compare DNS answers across public resolvers worldwide
- debug why some users see old DNS records
- verify DNS changes across anycast networks like Google and Cloudflare
- see which resolver site answered my DNS query via NSID

## When to choose
- you want dnschecker.org-style propagation checks without leaving the terminal
- you need per-resolver detail like RTT, TTL, and NSID site names
- you want a visual world map or globe of propagation status in a TUI

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or web-based DNS checker
- you need DNS record management or editing, not just checking
- you need programmatic/API access rather than an interactive terminal view
