Totally fair. I'm not really aiming to compete with general purpose editors.
The motivation for Hedit was more about workflows, like syncing from remote sources or shared lists. So Hedit is closer to a small system utility rather than "yet another editor".
So you've replaced a <10 line shell script (which is what I've been using to workflow host blacklist updates and similar for...oh...25 years) with an entire application. Fair enough...but I thought it was only mobile shoveling "EVERYTHING MUST BE AN APP" down on us. The more you know.
I created Hedit after using an outdated hosts file editor that didn't support Apple Silicon. I wanted a modern, user-friendly alternative that works seamlessly on today's systems.
Hedit is still evolving, and I’d love your feedback.
Thanks for checking it out, and happy to answer any questions!
I was using gasmask app before. But it's not just about the editor, it's the automations. I can synk StevenBlack hosts automatically for example. Check it out ;)
Hey! It should be more dynamic than a spreadsheet. Providing you with more details about it, like domain rating and backlinks. I plan to add more info, like SSL details, Google safe browsing, blacklist check, and so on.
Also, it will have email notifications about all that info. Remind you about expirations. Notify about DR changes and or some other metric that changed.
Does this answer your question? Please let me know.
Just to clarify one more thing. You don't transfer the domain to it. It's not a domain registrar. You keep them where you registered it originally, you just add them to the dashboard.
That’s 100% true. My bad. Since it’s just an MVP, I initially didn’t bother, but I regret it now. I’ve already added a minimal landing page. Unfortunately, I can’t change the URL on HN.
