This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for.

I keep running into the same issue — I know a shortcut exists, but end up breaking my flow to search for it, usually ending up on some outdated forum thread.

One thing I’m curious about: have you thought about making this accessible outside the browser?

Something like a small background tool (similar to Keypirinha / Ditto) that you can trigger with a shortcut and instantly search shortcuts for the app you're currently using.

I feel like that would make it much more “in the flow”, since you wouldn’t have to context-switch to a website.

I went through almost the exact same thought process.

Got tired of juggling .env files, environment variables, and various tools that either felt too heavy or required external services.

Ended up building a small tool for my own workflow where secrets stay in an encrypted local store and get injected at runtime when needed.

It’s interesting how many people independently arrive at similar solutions once they try to simplify things and reduce the trust surface.

This matches my experience.

I went through a lot of courses trying to find the “right” one, but didn’t end up building much.

What actually worked was learning the basics and then jumping into small, messy projects. That’s where things started to click.

I think courses are useful for building initial intuition, but they can create a false sense of progress. You feel like you're learning a lot, but you’re not forced to deal with real constraints or problems.

The biggest shift for me was going from “following along” to “figuring things out”.
