Hi HN, I'm launching DataXLator, a utility I built to solve a problem many of us face: needing quick, reliable conversion between JSON and YAML for config files (Kubernetes, Ansible, etc.) without trusting a random server with sensitive data. The core feature is that all free conversions run 100% client-side in your browser using js-yaml and browser APIs. This guarantees privacy and speed. I've also implemented real-time error reporting to help debug syntax issues instantly. While the core tool is FREE, I'm launching with a Pro subscription to fund development of high-value, server-backed features like Bulk ZIP Conversion and support for formats like CSV and SQL. I would genuinely appreciate any feedback on the tool's performance and what features are most critical to your workflow.

After years of frustration pasting sensitive YAML into random online tools, I built DataXLator. The key feature is the security: your data never leaves your browser for free conversions. This MVP is live, and I'd love to hear what other config formats you need!
