The easiest way to launch the console page of AWS services
aws-launcher Extension
When I ask users of AWS to navigate to a specific AWS service, the user typically takes a few seconds sinking in on the overwhelming number of services in the console page, subsequently entering the service name via Ctrl-F to find where to click.
==Problem
Too many service. Too difficult to find where the link is. Why is there no simple seach bar?
==Solution
Naturally, based on the observation, let's build a AWS Launcher that has search capability to help easily launch specific AWS services console.
==Features
* Instant Search to launching AWS services - no more scanning the console home page to see where to click
* Enter to launch first listed service - type and enter and launch - don't need to use the mouse to click and launch
==Further Work
* save state
* MRU
* settings
