[name-redacted] – Sharing screen is scary in SaaS age
Sharing screen is really scary today with all PIIs and secrets sprawling around your screen, so I built [name-redacted], a small Chrome extension that spots API keys, tokens, emails, and throws a blur overlay on them in real time. The goal is to make screen-sharing feel safe again without adding steps to a demo. Everything runs locally—regex + entropy heuristics compiled to WASM—and the extra CPU cost averages ~1 ms per mutation on my M1. Custom rules can be added with a JSON file for teams that have proprietary token formats. visit [url-redacted] Feedback please <3

In plain words
This Chrome extension automatically detects and blurs sensitive information like API keys, tokens, and emails during screen sharing. It runs entirely locally using regex and entropy heuristics compiled to WebAssembly, adding minimal performance overhead of about 1 millisecond per screen change. The tool is designed for developers and teams who need to safely share screens during demos without manual preparation steps. Teams can add custom rules via JSON files to identify proprietary token formats specific to their organization.

How It Works: - One user opens a room and receives a unique code. - Participants join by simply entering the code to view the shared screen. After that initial build, I moved the project to Cursor to continue iterating and enhancing its features.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
