Good stuff! Single-file C application with zero dependencies, and well written at that, is impressive in itself. The fact that the website is super-polished too kind of threw me off guard. I kept looking for a "Pricing" tab but couldn't find one lol.

A perfect 5/7!

Fastrace is a blazingly fast traceroute utility designed for network diagnostics and performance analysis. It maps the route that packets take across an IP network from source to destination, providing detailed timing information and identifying potential bottlenecks or routing issues.

That's cool but you probably want to give it a bit of time since you have a Show HN on the front page as it is.

Out of curiosity, are you posting a bunch of stuff you've previously written to github? It looks like, over the past two weeks, you've published to your github:

* today: a fast traceroute utility

* four days ago: a string search CLI tool

* six days ago: Lanet, which seems to be a Swiss-army knife for local network communication

* 10 days ago: gitingtest, a git/LLM integration

yes projects started and never finished, I resumed working on them and finalized them.
