Cert Decoder
Kunobi is a native desktop workspace for managing Kubernetes clusters and GitOps deployments. Built with Rust for real performance. Connect to multiple clusters, visualize FluxCD and ArgoCD pipelines, run terminal sessions with split panes, and spin up local test clusters, all from one app.
Designed for platform engineering teams who need visibility across clusters without the memory overhead of browser-based tools. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux with a free tier.
Cert Decoder is a free online tool that helps you decode X.509 SSL/TLS certificates in PEM format. It instantly shows important information like the issuer, expiry date, SAN entries, and fingerprint. All data is processed locally in your browser, so nothing is ever sent or stored elsewhere.
KunobiKunobi's answer
Kunobi came from managing Kubernetes at scale at Zondax. Terminal tools like k9s are fast but lack visibility acrossclusters and GitOps flows. GUI tools like Lens offer that visibility but consume gigabytes of memory.
We built Kunobi to give platform teams both: native performance with the multi-cluster and GitOps visualization that enterprise operations demand.
Cert Decoder's answer:
I built certdecoder.com over the weekend for my own needs. Sometimes in my work, I need to verify and check certificate details.
Kunobi's answer
Rust (fast!), React (beautiful), WebGL (faster!), plus an expert human-team to avoid AI slop
Cert Decoder's answer:
certdecoder.com was built using just JavaScript and HTML—simple, fast, and with all processing happening locally in your browser, so no certificate data is sent to any server
Cert Decoder's answer:
certdecoder.com is primarily built for developers, sysadmins, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and DevOps engineers.
Kunobi's answer
If you're tired of Lens eating 2GB of RAM or k9s not being visual enough, Kunobi sits in the middle. Native desktop performance with a proper GUI. It handles multi-cluster management, has a real terminal system with split panes, and lets you spin up local KIND clusters for testing without leaving the app. GitOps teams get a flow graph that shows Flux dependencies visually instead of making you dig through YAML.
We are expanding into areas beyond k8s -> idrac, cloudflare, github, etc. to have a complete view of your platform.
Cert Decoder's answer:
Simple, fast, and reliable. Some similar tools can’t even decode basic certificates. I rigorously tested my tool with many real-world certificates and covered several edge cases where competitors fall short.

Based on our record, Cert Decoder seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 1 time since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Why? Because I built certdecoder.com and couldn’t find a decent place to submit it. So I said screw it — I’ll build my own. With blackjack and hookers. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
