Show HN: ConfigSift – browser-only diff/validate for .env, YAML, JSON
Hello, I wanted to share ConfigSift, a client-side tool to compare configuration files (.env, YAML, JSON) before deployments.
You paste or drop two configs and it highlights what changed (including nested keys), with options to mask sensitive values. Everything runs locally in the browser—no uploads, no accounts.
Try it: https://configsift.com https://configsift.com
I’d love feedback on what would make this most useful in real CI/CD workflows, and whether the UI makes diffs easy to review quickly.
- melezhik 9mo agoJust one thought - code should not be driven by YAML, or in other words yaml configuration should be just configurations, nothing more - thus are simple and easy to read As a result application changes should not be lost in yaml complexity
- gMan1 9mo agoAgreed. I’m not trying to make YAML more powerful, more trying to make the complexity that already exists easier to review (K8s/CI configs already live in YAML). In my head it’s “diff + guardrails” so behavior changes don’t get buried in big files. Always wonder what’s bitten people more.... unreadable diffs, or YAML being used like a programming language (templating/anchors/etc.)?
