What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

I've been working on https://console.wut.dev/

Right now it's a collection of a few tools:

• AWS Resource Explorer - a lighter-weight version of the AWS console where everything is just a sortable/filterable/searchable table.

• Access Denied Debugger - paste an "AccessDenied" message and get back a stack-trace style UI showing all the resources involved, reason for the error (e.g., which policy is missing a permission), recent changes via CloudTrail, etc.

• AWS Organizations / SCP Viewer - generates a tree-diagram style UI showing all your AWS accounts, which policies apply to them, etc.

Still working on merging these into a cohesive application (mostly just been scratching my own itches so far). I'm trying to consider privacy/security carefully, so everything is client-side, using the AWS JavaScript SDK, and creds/data are only stored locally.

This is awesome, I work at AWS and might use this when the console load times get on my last nerve and I just want to check some IAM policies. The Access Denied debugger sounds like a massive timesaver too.

Oh that’s so nice to hear! It’s quite an early alpha, but I’ve working to expand support for more resource types and details. Feedback is very welcomed.
