Description
It would be nice if there was an option for hoogle to advertise itself as some local name with dnssd
hoogle server --local --local-name armandos-project
Then instead of having to remember which port my hoogle is running on, I could just go to a stable name in my browser:
http://armandos-project.local
Of course, you can get this feature today with some sort of local mDNS reverse proxy (like this one), but having it integrated is just nicer imo.
One nice thing about this feature is you can run multiple hoogles without worrying about them conflicting (although they would still try to use the same port - maybe automatic port assignment would also be useful?)

Research direction
Start at the hoogle server --local entry point and review how server names and ports are configured. Evaluate the linked dnssd package and the optional port-utils reference before defining the supported scope. Done should include a local service name that works in a browser and clear behavior when multiple Hoogle instances run.
