Show HN: Stop losing hours collecting client API keys and tool permissions
I've been freelancing for a few years now, and honestly, the most frustrating part isn't the actual work it's getting access to client systems.

Every project starts the same way: 'Hey, can you send me your API keys for X?'

Then it's a week of messages trying to figure out what they actually need to share, which permissions to set, whether they should create a new user... you get it.

So I built this simple tool where I just send a link, you pick what service they need to share with you (Analytics, Hubspot, Stripe, whatever), selects the right permissions from a dropdown, share the link and it's done.

Takes about 30 seconds instead of 30 emails.

Some folks told me they waste up to a week per client just for the credential dance.

Anyone else find client credential collection surprisingly boring?

Would love to hear what you think of this solutions (creddy.me)

Thanks for any feedback
