Keyboard-driven AWS management tool

Build a terminal-based interface for AWS that prioritizes keyboard shortcuts and quick navigation. Target developers who work frequently with AWS and want to reduce mouse dependency.

Why now

As cloud infrastructure grows more complex, developers seek faster ways to manage resources without leaving their workflow.

Managing AWS resources often involves switching between browser tabs and clicking through nested menus, which slows down developers.

A terminal-based tool with Vim-like keybindings could streamline AWS navigation, allowing users to list, search, and manage resources without touching the mouse.

Cloud engineers and DevOps teams would pay for this as it saves time during daily operations.

The MVP could focus on EC2 and S3 management with basic CRUD operations via keyboard.

The main risk is AWS potentially adding similar native features to their CLI.
