Congrats on the launch! This resonates - I've dealt with the "accidentally exposed credentials during a demo" problem a lot.

The .env file is one of the most common culprits, but I've found the problem extends beyond just one file type. What I've learned:

The broader challenge: - .env files in code editors - Config files in various formats (YAML, JSON, TOML) - Database GUIs (showing connection strings, table data) - API tools (Postman, Insomnia showing auth tokens) - Browser tabs (logged into admin panels, showing URLs with tokens) - Terminal windows (commands with API keys) - Slack/email windows (messages with sensitive info)

Most solutions are file-type specific or app-specific. But during a screen share, the sensitivity context switches constantly - one moment you're in VS Code, next you're in a browser, then Postman, then back to the terminal.

How did you decide to focus on .env files specifically vs. trying to tackle the broader problem? Curious about your thinking on scope vs. coverage trade-offs.

Also, what's your approach to detecting what qualifies as a "secret" that needs masking? Pattern matching, or something more sophisticated?
