Great tool. I've following code suggestion to add gaping for form fields on small screen:

<!-- Form Section --> <div class="card shadow-sm mb-5"> <div class="card-body"> <form method="GET" action=""> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 mb-3 mb-md-0"> <input type="text" name="domain" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter a domain (e.g., example.com)" required> </div> <div class="col-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0"> <select name="record_type" class="form-select" required> <option value="ALL">All Record Types</option> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="AAAA">AAAA</option> <option value="MX">MX</option> <option value="NS">NS</option> <option value="CNAME">CNAME</option> <option value="TXT">TXT</option> <option value="SRV">SRV</option> <option value="SOA">SOA</option> <option value="PTR">PTR</option> </select> </div> <div class="col-md-1"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary w-100">Query</button> </div> </div> </form> </div> </div>

ms7892··on Ask HN: Is It Time for a WordPress Alternative?
I feel exactly the same way. WordPress used to be my go-to as well, and it was fantastic for simple sites about 10 years ago. But now? It feels like you’re stuck inside a never-ending loop of web builders stacked on top of each other. You install a theme, and suddenly you’re dealing with its own set of custom builders, page templates, and sometimes a whole new interface. What was once a straightforward blogging platform has become a full-on web-building labyrinth.

I agree—WordPress feels over-engineered for something that should be simple. I’ve recently been experimenting with static site generators and Webflow as well. Webflow is intuitive, fast, and gets the job done without all the bloat. As for open-source alternatives, I’ve seen some buzz around platforms like Ghost or Hugo for those wanting something lightweight, but they don’t quite match the "everything in one" ecosystem WordPress used to offer.

ms7892··on Ask HN: Is It Time for a WordPress Alternative?
I can totally relate to your frustration. I recently tried using WordPress to set up a company website for me, and it was honestly a pretty awful experience. Between the constant need for plugins, slow loading times, and dealing with themes that didn’t quite work out of the box, I felt like I was spending more time fixing things than actually building the site.

In the end, I gave up and switched to a static site via simple html, bootstrap and js similar to your case, which was way smoother. Sure, WordPress has a massive ecosystem and is flexible, but when the core experience is this clunky, especially for someone who just wants to get content out there or set up a simple site, it really makes you question whether it’s still worth it.

Given the recent issues like the ACF plugin dispute, I’m definitely leaning towards alternatives that are more lightweight and give me more control without the bloat. Anyone else finding WordPress more of a hassle than a help these days?

1. Helped SteelOnClick launch their QR-based system and dedicated portal for affiliate marketers, primarily retail shops. This initiative enabled shops to earn extra income ranging from 2.5k to 7k INR. Additionally, it facilitated construction supervisors in efficiently connecting with local retail shops, acting as both a visiting card and an affiliate system.

2. Worked with DPMPay in customizing school fees according to each school's requirements without the need for developer intervention. Previously, developers were required to make such changes.

3. Rewrote HireACamp's backend from scratch using Express JS. This overhaul facilitated quick bookings during peak seasons such as Christmas, New Year celebrations, and summer vacations. Furthermore, it introduced a load balancer architecture through AWS. Previously, their core PHP backend would become unresponsive when tested by more than 5000 users. The new backend and load balancer architecture efficiently enabled horizontal scaling.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Here’s the project I have worked on (full-time):

1. Steelonclick (www.steelonclick.in) (a website that sells construction related steel products online. Backend on Core PHP.)

2. HireACamp (www.hireacamp.com) (developed backed on Node/Express JS) (platform to book camps in India)

3. ShakyaCreations (www.shakyacreations.com) (wordpress/woocommerce - client started selling bangles in just 20 minutes)

4. DPMPAY (www.dpmpay.in) (school management software written in CodeIgniter 3)

These are projects that I worked full time in 7 years.
