Pro-tip: Describe what this actually does. "adding functionality like price estimates for resources." is vague.<p>The Chrome extension asks for permission to "Read and change your data on all auth0.com sites, all aws.amazon.com sites, and all deref.io sites"<p>That's a LOT of power to give some random extension to my AWS account. I'm not going to do that unless I know EXACTLY what it does, how, and why.<p>The vaguer you are, the less I trust you.<p>And that doesn't get into why this extension also needs access to auth0 which is not described in the overview at all.
If there's one website I would never in a million years let a closed-source, venture-backed browser extension inject content into, it's console.aws.amazon.com. What a terrifying thought...
Hey, CEO of Deref here.<p>In our customer discovery calls, we've heard so much about how folks dislike the AWS Console. We figured we should do something about that!<p>This extension is super early days, but we'd love for it to grow. Feedback welcome!<p>email: hello@deref.io<p>twitter: @deref_inc
I think AWS console has a lot of room for improvement. However, I think of it as a feature, since I'm trying very hard to have people do everything in the infra as code, rather than clicking buttons, and the worse the console is, the better ;)
For a more secure approach, you might find Vantage interesting: <a href="https://www.vantage.sh/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vantage.sh/</a>
Useful enough tool. Sadly I feel very nervous about any permissions on my AWS account so it must remain uninstalled. It's a pity, though.<p>I guess I could load it unpacked but the utility isn't high enough for me to go through the source myself.
AWS Enhancement Suite sounds like an AWS product. Consider calling it:<p>Enhancement Suite for AWS or<p>Deref Enhancement Suite for AWS<p>to avoid confusion?
AWS is one of the main examples of why I miss the days when things had dedicated, native applications. I can imagine the AWS console being so much easier to use if it was something like Intellij. I don't even like Intellij compared to Sublime, but at least Intellij has an undeniable amount of power and customization. Meanwhile the AWS console is a drag to use and gets worse if you use the new UIs
