Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

SideDNS is a local DNS router and transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy that lets developers map any domain to a local service without editing /etc/hosts. It features ephemeral rules, automatic cleanup, and TLS certificate management, making local development with realistic domains seamless and safe. Its lock-free arc-swap architecture and daemon with integrated DNS/proxy/IPC are technically well-executed.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, devops
