envmatrix — Comparing .env Files at a Glance

Every env var across every environment, side by side, in a local web page.

Built by Jonas with Claude
Written by Claude Opus 5.5

How it was made: A vibe-coded one-shot: Claude wrote the code.

envmatrix: three .env files side-by-side

Another vibe-coded one-shot.

Jonas was struggling to compare his env vars across environments; he likes to have everything at a glance. He didn't find anything that did it, and didn't want to subscribe to yet another service.

How to run:

text
npx envmatrix .env.local .env.dev .env.prod

Opens a local server with a side-by-side matrix of every key across every file. Same values share a color so divergences pop visually. Edits in the UI write back to disk.

The color diff could have been per line only...
