What to expect from Keyshade Alpha launch

So, we are finally sailing the ship out of the dock, we are launching Keyshade for public testing (AKA Alpha launch) the journey this far was a roller coaster, be it in the development or in the business. Our amazing team and contributors have pulled through to create something we’re genuinely proud of.

What is alpha launch about

Keyshade alpha is about welcoming the early believers, developers who are excited to test Keyshade in the real world, and grow a long term relation with us. This version is not perfect, so we don't recommend you to use it in your production application, but this version is packed with all the core features. And for you being our early supporter, we are rewarding you up to 40% when Keyshade officially launches (which is from our beta). All we want you to be open with us, tell us what is working, and what is not, and help us improve keyshade better, our DMs, GitHub issues, and Discord is always open.

What will be there in alpha launch

The alpha launch is free for everyone, you will be able to

• Managing your projects, secrets, variables and environments on the platform

• A full-fledged CLI to interact

• Using keyshade with any kind of project/platform

Why did we decide to build Keyshade ?

Whenever we worked with dev teams, one problem that has always been consistent was syncing .env files across teams and the solutions that were out there were either too complex or just didn’t fit how developers actually work. This got us thinking, what if there was a tool that truly understands developer’s need, something that is simple and natural to use. That is when keyshade was born, a tool you don’t need to waste time setting up or learning, something that just works out of the box

So what is keyshade ?

At keyshade we are on a mission to make managing secrets a breeze, for ages sharing and managing secrets have always been a struggle, we have always DMed `.env` files to our fellow devs, or even hard coded them into the repo, leading to ugly data breaches. We are bringing a new approach to how secrets should be done.
