Show HN: stop-nagging A CLI tool to silence upgrade nags and telemetry in tools

a year ago

Stop-nagging is a Rust CLI tool I built to automatically silence those annoying upgrade prompts, telemetry, and advertising nags that plague our development tools. It works by setting environment variables and running configuration commands without modifying source code.

* Fast, zero-config Rust binary

* Linux, Windows and macOS compatible

* Uses YAML for easy contribution of new tools

* Never fails (exits 0) to avoid breaking CI pipelines

* Respects existing environment variables

* Works across multiple ecosystems (Node.js, Python, Rust, etc.)

The tool is designed to be simple - run it once and forget about it. All configuration lives in a YAML file, making it easy for anyone to contribute new tools without writing Rust code. Install with:

Looking for feedback and contributions, especially for additional tools to support!
