Built a Visual Docker Compose Editor - Looking for Feedback!

#tooling #showdev #discuss #docker

Hey

I've been wrestling with Docker Compose YAML files for way too long, so I built something to make it easier, a visual editor that lets you build and manage multi-container Docker applications without the YAML headaches.

The Problem

We've all been there:

Forgetting the exact YAML syntax
Spending hours debugging indentation issues
Copy-pasting configs and hoping they work
Managing environment variables, volumes, and ports manually

The Solution

A visual, form-based editor that:

✅ No YAML knowledge required
✅ See your YAML update in real-time as you type
✅ Upload your docker-compose.yml and edit it visually
✅ Download your configuration as a ready-to-use YAML file
✅ No sign-up required to try the editor

What I've Built (MVP)

Core Features:

Visual form-based configuration
Service templates (Nginx, PostgreSQL, Redis)
Environment variables management
Volume mapping
Port configuration
Health checks
Resource limits (CPU/Memory)
Service dependencies
Multi-service support

Try it here: https://docker-compose-manager.vercel.app/

Why I'm Sharing This

This is an MVP and I'm looking for honest feedback from the community:

Does this solve a real problem for you?
What features are missing?
What would make you actually use this?
Any bugs or UX issues?

I've set up a quick waitlist for early access to future features (multi-environment management, team collaboration, etc.), but the editor is 100% free and functional right now - no sign-up needed.
