From Cloudflare:

A DNS pointer record (PTR for short) provides the domain name associated with an IP address. A DNS PTR record is exactly the opposite of the 'A' record, which provides the IP address associated with a domain name.

DNS PTR records are used in reverse DNS lookups.

I believe the ability to enable this on a per-subdomain basis would be best, if possible.

@malted I assume you mean this feature of octodns? https://github.com/octodns/octodns#automatic-ptr-generation

@malted is this also a thing on dnsimple records? or do you have to use cloudflare backed dns?

PTR records are a feature of DNS (see RFC8501§1.1). The consideration here is that reverse DNS is typically managed by the NSP/ISP that owns the IP. I'm not sure if managing PTR records in Hack Club's DNS makes sense due to this.
