I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

I have created a Twitter API wrapper that works with just a username, email address, and password — no API key required. With this library, you can post tweets, search, and check trending topics for free. In addition, it supports both asynchronous and synchronous use, so it can be used in a variety of situations. Please send me your comments and suggestions. Additionally, if you're willing, kindly give me a star on GitHub.

I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly.

Looking for feedback particularly on: 1. Integration experience 2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

Hey Everyone! I’ve recently been working on an open-source proxy server to help front end applications securely access third party APIs that require confidential API keys without the need to create your own backend. I would love to get some feedback and hear what you think!
