# DomainWatch - Active Context

## Current Status
Project structure and core functionality implemented.

## Completed
- [x] Backend structure with FastAPI
- [x] Database models (User, Domain, DomainCheck, Subscription)
- [x] Domain checker service (WHOIS + DNS)
- [x] Authentication system (JWT)
- [x] API endpoints for domain management
- [x] Daily scheduler for domain checks
- [x] Next.js frontend with dark theme
- [x] Public domain checker component
- [x] User dashboard for domain monitoring
- [x] Pricing page with tiers

## Next Steps
1. Install dependencies and test locally
2. Add email notifications when domain becomes available
3. Payment integration (Stripe recommended)
4. Add more detailed WHOIS information display
5. Domain check history page

## Design Decisions
- **Dark theme** with green accent color (#22c55e)
- **Minimalist UI** with outlined icons only
- **No emojis** - professional appearance
- **Card-based layout** for domain list

## Known Considerations
- WHOIS rate limiting: Added 0.5s delay between checks
- Some TLDs may not return complete WHOIS data
- DNS-only check is faster but less reliable
