Retro Dev Tools - by VERIDIAN

Thanks for checking these out. I've been mass about developer tools for a while. Not the tools themselves—many are genuinely good—but the business models wrapped around them. The dark patterns. The pricing designed to confuse. The free tiers that exist only to harvest data for the "real" product. I wanted to see if there was another way. These three tools are my attempt at that. They do specific things well. They have free tiers that are actually usable. They don't track you beyond basic "is the server working" metrics. VaultAgent specifically is built on zero-knowledge encryption—I couldn't access your secrets even if I wanted to. The retro terminal aesthetic started as a personal preference and became a principle. When you can't hide behind visual polish, you have to make the functionality work. It keeps me honest. I'm around all day if you have questions or feedback. I built these alone, so I know every line of code and every decision that went into them—happy to explain any of it. And if you try them and they're not for you, that's completely fine. Not everything needs to be for everyone. — Sky
