Show HN: DropConfig – version-control and hosting for your configuration files

Hi! We are Clay and Dzmitry, and we built https://www.dropconfig.com

DropConfig is a version-control and hosting for configuration-files. Our goal was to liberate constants from the code and let them live their own separate lives. DropConfig does that and requires no new infrastructure and no new dependencies in your code.

After working on many projects over the years, we noticed that every time we hand the project off, we reinvent a super-simple "back office" UI allowing users to change some aspects of application "on-the-fly".

For example:

- language-translation files

- web-widgets settings (IDs, colors etc)

- temporary banners ("down for maintenance", "new release" announcements)

- CSS rules

After talking to our friends we realized that other developers run into the same problem all the time. For them, for ourselves, and for you HN, we built DropConfig :)

DropConfig is for all cases where you have a JSON configuration file, which is updated more often than you are comfortable making app-releases. Think of it as something between Firebase and Github: immediate availability of Firebase yet change-audit and access-permissions of Github. Plus speed and reliability of CDN.
