Hello fellow makers! I have launched this ec2-dashboard.com more than a year ago and have added some new features over the past year to help myself get through some of the more commonly-performed tasks for myself without having to log in to AWS console. In fact, I have logged in less frequent now since I had the dashboard. The whole product is built on a single page application style architecture - everything happens on the "/" page without any page refreshes for everything you do. This matters because the problem I have with AWS's console is that you tend to do too many clicks and page refresh for simple tasks like launching a new instance or even just creating a snapshot. I'd be interested to know if anyone else if also facing the same issue and what sort of functionalities would be useful - for example, I find it had to see which snapshots and AMIs are for which instances, especially during times when I need to delete them to cut down on my storage cost. So in the dashboard, you can see all snapshots and AMIs for an instance by just clicking on that instance, and you can click on a small trash button to delete them instantly.
