🔒 The Privacy Problem in Development

The Hidden Dangers of Online Tools

Every day, developers unknowingly expose sensitive data through online tools:

Data Transmission Risks

Your sensitive data → Internet → Unknown servers → Stored? Logged? Shared?

What's at risk:

🔑 API keys and passwords
💳 Customer data and PII
🏢 Proprietary code and algorithms
📊 Business logic and data structures
🔐 Authentication tokens and secrets

Real-World Privacy Breaches

2023: Popular online converter logged 10M+ user inputs
2022: Developer tool service exposed API keys in analytics
2021: JSON formatter stored sensitive corporate data
Ongoing: Ad trackers on "free" developer tools

Compliance Nightmares

Using online tools can violate:

GDPR: Personal data processing without consent
HIPAA: Healthcare data exposure
SOX: Financial data security requirements
Corporate policies: Data handling regulations

🛡️ Why Privacy Matters for Developers

Professional Consequences

Data breach → Legal liability → Career damage → Financial loss

Corporate Impact

Intellectual property theft
Competitive advantage loss
Regulatory fines and penalties
Customer trust erosion
Legal liability exposure

Personal Privacy

Your personal projects and side hustles deserve the same protection as enterprise code.

🔧 Real-World Use Cases

Scenario 1: API Development

Traditional workflow:
1. Validate JSON response → Online tool (data exposed)
2. Generate API key → Online generator (key compromised)
3. Encode credentials → Online encoder (credentials leaked)
4. Debug JWT token → Online debugger (token exposed)

DevKitHub workflow:
1. Validate JSON → Local processor (data secure)
2. Generate API key → Local generator (key secure)
3. Encode credentials → Local encoder (credentials secure)
4. Debug JWT token → Local debugger (token secure)

Scenario 2: Mobile App Development
