    I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

    I spent ages obfuscating data before submitting it to JSONFormatter. Felt like a goomba, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that sending actual data to the service was a bad idea.

    It’s surely unethical, but I can’t even blame anyone exploiting this. The leak is whoever pasted secrets on a website. Don’t paste secrets on third party websites and, particularly, don’t save that secret content to a third-party server.

    Just use code formatters in whatever editor you prefer.

    I get the concept of these tools, but why do you need a link/copy of the output? Why is a copy even saved (and is publicly accessible via kindergarten level deduction?)?

    Wouldn’t your just paste the processed code back into your local/company code repository/servers?
