I’m excited to share that Metadata Explorer is now officially live on the Salesforce AppExchange.

What started as a simple internal utility to help me navigate metadata across Salesforce orgs has now evolved into a complete Lightning application designed to make metadata exploration faster, clearer, and developer/admin-friendly.

🌟 Why I Built Metadata Explorer

Working across multiple orgs at UNICEF and various packages, I frequently needed a quick way to:

• Inspect metadata structures
• Explore Apex classes, triggers, profiles, and permission sets
• Find and review custom fields
• Analyze model tables and related objects
• Speed up impact analysis before deployments

Most existing tools were:

• slow
• outdated
• or required external setup

So I built Metadata Explorer — a native, LWC-powered app that allows instant metadata exploration directly inside Salesforce.
