I built Castov – 900+ Offline-First Developer Tools, Terminal Error Healer & VS Code Extension (Zero Telemetry)

Описание и применение

Разработчик создал Castov – набор из 900+ офлайн‑первичных инструментов, включая терминальный диагностик ошибок, шифрование переменных окружения и расширение VS Code, полностью работающий в браузере без телеметрии.

Задача

Developers were forced to paste sensitive JWT tokens, .env secrets, and production JSON payloads into slow, ad‑heavy websites that logged everything on their backend.

Результат

Developers can diagnose terminal errors, encrypt secrets locally, fetch AI rules, lookup ports, and enhance VS Code without exposing data to external servers.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install Castov via npm: npx castov fix "error message" to diagnose terminal errors instantly.
• 2. Encrypt .env variables in the browser with AES‑GCM 256‑bit and store the key in the URL hash: visit https://www.castov.com/env‑vault.
• 3. Fetch AI‑generated cursor rules into a project: curl -sL https://www.castov.com/api/rules/nextjs-15 > .cursorrules.
• 4. Look up network ports and CIDR subnets with instant copy‑paste kill commands or Docker rules via https://www.castov.com/ports.
• 5. Install the VS Code extension to hover over Unix timestamps, generate UUID v7, and decode JWTs directly in the editor: code --install-extension castov.castov-vscode.
• 6. Explore the full directory of 900+ tools at https://www.castov.com/directory.

Доказательства

I got tired of pasting sensitive JWT tokens, .env secrets, and production JSON payloads into slow, ad‑heavy websites that log everything on their backend.

So I built Castov — a 100% client‑side, zero‑telemetry developer utility suite.

Zero‑Knowledge .env Secret Sharing: Encrypts your .env variables in the browser using AES‑GCM 256‑bit and stores the decryption key in the URL #hash (so the key never touches the server)
