Pangea Redactor

Inspiration

I've needed a tool in the past for stripping PII out of data to be used by sales for demos or internally for test deployments of our applications, unfortunately the current solutions on the market to automate this are pretty low quality. However, the Pangea API provides a really good redaction solution. So I decided to make a tool to utilize it.

What it does

Pangea Redactor is essentially just a nice frontend to interact with the redact API. You can paste in data such as text, csv, json, etc to have the sensitive information redacted according to the rulesets enabled in the Pangea console.

How I built it

I chopped it together fairly quickly using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.

Challenges I ran into

The only challenge was choosing which of Pangea's APIs to utilize in a project, and learning the quirks of certain redaction techniques, like addresses in particular.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

It works really well, you can save your token to local storage on the browser, I can see myself using this tool.

What I learned

Pangea has a great redaction api, and I cannot wait to see how it evolves.

What's next for Pangea Redactor

I'd love to be able to adjust rulesets from within the app, even building custom rulesets from my frontend would be awesome.
