Show HN: Lockenv – Simple encrypted secrets storage for Git Hi!

I got tired of setting up tools I can't explain to a team in a few words like sops or git-crypt, just to store few files with environment variables or secrets, so I built lockenv as a simple alternative.

It's basically a password-protected vault file you commit to git. No gpg keys, no cloud, just lockenv init, set a password, and lock/unlock the secrets.

This tool integrates with OS keyring, so you're not typing passwords constantly. Should work on Mac/Linux/Windows, but I tested it only on linux so far.

I am not trying to replace any mature / robust solution, just making small tool for simple cases, where I want to stop sharing secrets via slack.

Feel free to try, thank you!

Show HN: Notepad.exe – macOS editor for Swift and Python (now Linux runtime) I recently released version 1.4 of Notepad.exe, my editor built for macOS. The goal of the app is to let you prototype ideas in Swift or Python with minimal setup - write code, hit Run, skip project scaffolding.<p>This release adds support for a Linux runtime&#x2F;subsystem, so you can write on macOS and execute snippets in a Linux environment.<p>I’d love to hear any feedback or answer any questions: would a tool like this fit your workflow? What friction remains?
