Title: I'm building API Vault — a simple tool to scan your GitHub repos for leaked API keys. Who would pay for this? Feedback wanted.

I'm building API Vault — a tool to find and manage exposed API keys in your GitHub repositories.

The Problem:

• 65% of developers have accidentally committed API keys

Tweet 2: Personal Story (T-4 - Feb 23)

I once accidentally pushed my AWS keys to a public repo.

3 hours later: $2,000 bill.

That's why I'm building API Vault — scan + detect + manage your API keys in 5 minutes.

Launching soon on @ProductHunt 🚀
