-# DevOps Helper – Windows System Tray App
+# NetKit
 
-A lightweight Windows system tray application built with **C# (.NET + WPF)** to speed up common DevOps tasks.  
-Initial features:  
-- Run fast HTTP(S) requests against a domain (using `HttpClient`).  
-- Check SSL certificate expiry natively in C# (no OpenSSL/WSL required).  
+A tiny Windows tray app for quick network checks. It runs in the system tray and pops open with a global hotkey.
 
----
+## Features
+- HTTP GET/POST with headers and body
+- SSL/TLS certificate details and expiry
+- Redirect chain viewer
+- DNS lookups (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, PTR)
 
-## 🚀 Plan & Setup
+## Download & Run
+- Windows 10/11.
+- Download the latest Release ZIP, extract, and run `NetKit.exe`.
+- A tray icon appears. Press `Win + ' (apostrophe)` to show/hide the window or double click the tray icon. 
+- To stop the app just right-click the tray icon and click on Close.
 
-### 1. Tech Stack
-- **C# (.NET 8)** – modern runtime.  
-- **WPF** – flexible, stylable UI (borderless, rounded corners).  
-- **NotifyIcon** (via WinForms interop) – system tray integration.  
-- **HttpClient** – native HTTP(S) requests (faster & cleaner than `curl.exe`).  
+## Notes
+- Settings are saved to `%AppData%\\NetKit\\settings.json`.
 
----
+## Build From Source
+- Prerequisite: .NET 8 SDK.
+- Restore/build: `dotnet restore` then `dotnet build -c Release`.
 
-### 2. Project Bootstrap
-1. Create a new **WPF App (.NET)** in Visual Studio or via CLI:  
-   ```bash
-   dotnet new wpf -n msOps
----
+## Optional single-file build (can be larger and slower to start for WPF):
+  - `dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true`
 
-### 3. System Tray & Hotkey
-- Add tray icon context menu: **Open UI** | **Exit**.  
-- Register a **global hotkey** (e.g. `Ctrl+Alt+Space`) → opens the UI instantly.  
-
----
-
-### 4. Popup UI
-- Create a **borderless WPF window** styled like a MacOS panel:  
-  - Rounded corners, shadows.  
-  - Input field for domain.  
-  - Toggle for `http` / `https`.  
-  - Buttons for **Curl** and **SSL Check**.  
-
----
-
-### 5. Features
-- **HTTP Request**  
-  - Use `HttpClient` to send requests directly from C#.  
-  - Capture and display headers or response.  
-
-- **SSL Expiry Check**  
-  - Use `TcpClient` + `SslStream` to fetch the server certificate.  
-  - Display expiry date + remaining days.  
-
----
-
-### 6. Quality of Life
-- Persist last used domain (e.g. in `Properties.Settings`).  
-- Optionally auto-run on Windows startup.  
-- Error handling for bad domains / network issues.  
-
----
-
-### 7. Polish
-- Improve styling (minimal, clean, MacOS-like).  
-- Add keyboard navigation.  
-- Add tray notifications (e.g. SSL expiring soon).  
-
----
-
-### 8. Future Extensions
-- Add utilities like **ping** or **DNS lookup**.  
-- Integrate with cloud CLIs (AWS, Azure, GCP).  
-- Support “favorite domains” or quick actions.
