Feature Idea: Web UI for .env File Management

I've created a local web dashboard for managing .env files and I'm wondering if there's interest in having something similar for python-dotenv.
Features:

  • Browser-based .env file editing
  • Real-time key/value editing with validation
  • Comparison with .env.example
  • Optional encryption features
  • Local-only (security conscious)
    Before I start development, I'd love to hear from the maintainers and community:
  1. Is this something you'd find useful?
  2. Any concerns or suggestions?
  3. Preferred technical approach (Flask, FastAPI, etc.)?
    Note that a new dotenv-ui directory will be created in the root directory for this feature. It is entirely optional for users, and no changes will be made to your existing code structure.
    Thanks for your feedback!
    Take a look at the screenshot below to see how the interface looks.
