Dev.to
7/2/2026

I built this for myself. Then realised other devs probably had the same problem.
Short summary
After accidentally exposing production credentials to an online .env converter, the author built configdev.com—a privacy-first suite of developer tools including env converters, crontab parsers, and PII scrubbers. All run entirely in-browser with no server-side processing, addressing a security blind spot for developers using online converters. Early-stage launch seeking community feedback on privacy claims and tool demand.
- •Discovered security risk: shared production credentials via online .env converter to unknown server
- •Built privacy-first alternative: suite of dev tools (env converter, crontab parser, CIDR calculator, PII scrubber, CSV-to-JSON builder) running entirely in-browser
- •Launched configdev.com; early-stage with no users yet, actively seeking feedback from developer community
