Made a config manager...wondering how useful this is?

Hi all,

So I spent some time making a config manager. Basically the idea for this is to create a friendly UI around creating and managing JSON configs that is easy enough for anyone to use (devs, pm, etc.).

Tiny Demo Video: https://youtu.be/1nb_ZPQ4Nak

Some use cases:

  • Developer doesn't have data source yet. Can quickly make a data source and share with data team showcasing what kind of data they are expecting.
  • Product Managers can use it to create configs to manage features being on or off from within a given app.
  • Can use it to manage the build versions that are currently being referenced from within a given app.
  • Anything you wanna do with some JSON really.

Looking for any opinions at all around this idea, thanks!

  1. 1

    do you lint the json?

    1. 1

      Sort of, just not on save. Can add that though

      1. 2

        I think that would be a good idea. JSON does need to be formatted correctly to be valid. After adding that, I would make it a selling point... validates and troubleshoots JSON.

          Good thinking, I'll add that! Thanks for the response!
