Show HN: Mercek – A Desktop IDE for AWS ECS(mercek.dev) Hey HN
I've been using ECS for a while now and found it annoying having to log into the console everytime I use Lens for Kubernetes but couldnt find an equivalent for ECS so i built one! The project is open source as well https://github.com/utibeabasi6/mercek |
I literally cannot run anymore without slowing everything down.
This is something which other software makers need to start considering.
There's actually limited RAM now on machines.
Codex and Claude Desktop both are gigantic memory hogs. And they leak memory all the time, but they provide value which is quite high.
Add in a couple of editors and the GitHub app. And then the actual browsers. And it actually stops me from downloading any more electron apps.
Could this be made into a native application?
Having to deal with a separate (electron) app for every AWS service would be a nightmare.
There was a similar undertaking to create something like k9s for ECS called E1S:

And I too intended to build one to server my specific ops needs and satisfy my taste for what information should be presented instead of how AWS organizes thing.
