Description
When setting up HyperDX locally, we usually end up sharing .env files
(or pasting secrets in Slack) during onboarding.
We ran into this internally and ended up using a small CLI that encrypts
envs end-to-end and shares them once, without infra.
Would it make sense to mention something like this as an optional
suggestion in the local dev docs?
