    Hey HN, We wanted a simple way to update application configs, without redeploying. We wanted to remotely set variables, and read them in our application. We created Varse to do this. Varse has a dashboard for creating key - value pairs and an SDK to read them. It's un-opinionated and allows for strings, booleans, or even json objects to be stored. We have instructions for running it yourself. We also have a hosted version where you can create an account and manage variables. This is our first time building an open source project. We'd love feedback on how to do it right. Github:…

    Hi HN, I'm Adriano, one of the makers of Vaultrice. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share what we've been building. For years, we found ourselves in a frustrating loop: whenever we needed a simple real-time feature—like a "who's online" list, a collaborative app, or just sharing state between a marketing site and our main app — we'd end up spending days setting up the same stack or discarded to do it.
