Show HN: Replacement for .env files and secret management tool

Hi,

I got tired of passing my .env files around in various chat channels to my colleagues so I made this tool to make it easier and more secure.

It's called Envie and it's open source and self-hostable service + CLI tool for managing software environments, API keys, secrets and the like. It's a replacement for .env files and related tools like dotenv for example.

I often find myself wasting a ton of time digging for the correct api key or database credentials across various web UIs to debug a production issue.

I made this CLI to make it super easy to switch between prod, staging and personal environments. The idea was it could also be useful for production as a lot of the UIs of hosting platforms for managing env configurations frankly suck (like Vercel for example).

I bet some of you will find this useful so please check it out on github: https://github.com/ilmari-h/envie
