I like the idea of using dotenv files, but I dislike having to use different language-specific libraries to read them. To solve this, I created a small utility that lets you prefix any command with "dotenv" to load the ".env" file. This is how I imagine dotenv would work if it had started as a UNIX utility rather than a Node.js library.

My weekend project sendenv is a CLI tool that lets you share environment variables securely with someone else. It is built on top of magic-wormhole which allows for safe, account-free data transfer. When you send variables using sendenv, it creates a one-time code. You give this code to the person who needs the variables. They use the code in their shell to load the variables. This is handy for quickly setting up new team members or copying local environment variables to another system. Its currently in alpha obviously, but the core functionality works (I have tested sending vaults from a…

Hey HN! I've built this cli tool to manage env variables of a project, but mostly for fun and to try out Rust and the clap crate. I had this idea when I made a big mistake and broke some production stuff because I had a very messy .env file laying around in my project. I was implementing new features for one of my projects and in my .env file I had the test database url commented out and the production one was not. Long story short, I applied migrations to the production database instead of my local test one and broke a lot of production APIs :') I wanted a tool that could easily help me…

It works on my machine" is still the most common deployment bug I kept running into the same stupid deployment issue. Everything works locally. Tests pass. I deploy. Production crashes. After digging through logs for an hour the problem ends up being something simple like: • a missing environment variable • something added to .env.example but not to .env • a config mismatch between environments The most common one for me was forgetting to add a variable locally after adding it to .env.example. So I built a small tool to catch this instantly. It compares .env and .env.example and tells you if…

Hi HN, I built this because I often work in coworking spaces or do screen sharing, and I've always had this fear of accidentally flashing my .env file with production secrets to the whole room (or recording). It’s a simple VS Code extension that opens .env files in a custom grid editor. It automatically masks any value longer than 6 characters so I can safely open the file to check keys without exposing the actual secrets. It runs 100% locally with zero dependencies (I know how sensitive these files are). It just reads the file, renders the grid, and saves it back as standard text. It's open…

I built a Rust drop-in replacement for svelte-check that's 10-30x faster for Svelte 5 projects. What it does: - Parses Svelte files with a custom Rust parser - Transforms them to TSX in parallel using Rayon - Runs type-checking via Microsoft's tsgo (the native Go port of TypeScript) - Maps errors back to original .svelte locations via source maps Why it's fast: The official svelte-check uses TypeScript's Language Service API optimized for IDEs with persistent connections. Great for autocomplete but slow for batch CLI checks. svelte-check-rs writes real TSX files to disk and runs tsgo as a…

Took a stab at building my own string diffing JS package. I built an interactive demo for TypeIt’s website (https://typeitjs.com/build-your-own) a while back. The approach I took to handle user input necessitated a way to calculate the difference between the versions of a user’s text input. I searched around for a package to help me out and found a couple of good ones (like fast-diff), but I either didn’t really like their API or didn’t want to take on a huge new dependency. Instead, I thought I’d give it a shot myself (famous last words). I dove into it having no real formal…
