Hey Product Hunt 👋I'm Alex, and I built curlwtf because I kept running into the same problem: someone pastes a curl command in Slack, or a README tells me to run one, and I have no idea what it actually does before I hit enter.I'd Google "what does this curl command do" and get nothing useful. Every result was either a generic curl tutorial or a curl-to-code converter. Nobody was just explaining the command in plain English.So I built it.What it does:
Paste any curl command, get a plain-English breakdown of every flag
Identifies which API you're hitting (Stripe, GitHub, OpenAI, Shopify, etc.)
Flags security issues — leaked API keys, -k (skipped SSL), plaintext auth, | sh pipes
Gives you copy-paste equivalents in Python, JavaScript, Node, and Go
Shareable URLs so you can paste explanations in PRs and Slack threads
