This is an excellent idea. Though I have not used it personally to delete AWS resources, I could understand why this is important.
I would think twice before sharing my AWS key to the third party apps. Is "Sharing AWS keys a common practice" to avail some AWS services? Do you know any other projects that take AWS key and do some stuff for the users?
Other than that this looks like a cool idea. I am interested in seeing how this project evolves into.
Hi Brahma, thanks very much! I do believe this is a valuable problem to solve effectively and your feedback is quite helpful.
I am not familiar with projects that take the AWS keys from users and yes, I agree this is a valid concern for the customers. Currently, as stated in our FAQs, we clarify that keys are never stored on our backend and each nuke is a sandboxed, ephemeral process.
I'd advise you to find some people who are providing services regarding AWS and get to know how they are gaining user's trust to share info.
I like www.zerofasting.com/. It covers what's important on the first fold. Each other fold explains more about the app. There are a lot of subtle UX cues that make the experience better.
That's a cool one! I love how they show each of the important 4 features.
Thank them for their response and ask for more details. If they are serious and they know what they are talking about, they will respond with more details. Otherwise, they would just stop responding.
What if it’s just clear from what they say at the first time?

The premise is great. I have not completed it yet. So far, it looks good.
Here there are two things to care about. The background and text. For the background, you can pick light colors using any of your favorite color pickers. For text, choose any good readable typeface. fonts.google.com/ has some good ones.
I like the right one. It looks slim and makes the app fun to use. The left one makes the product more disciplined.
For extensions, that colors should not be too distracting. The design should be in a way that it blends in the regular flow. It should achieve the purpose (in this case showing quotes) without putting much effort.
Thanks Marc for the detailed answer. I would go with Amazon S3 option for now. BTW, How are you dealing with the images for WIP?
Uploads go to Heroku server which are then uploaded to S3 in a background job. We use imgix as a CDN in front of S3, so images are loaded faster and we can perform resizing/etc on-the-fly without having to generate them in advance. (Not as cost effective, but makes development a lot quicker.)
