Hi! I'm a student and just saw this post. I would be interested to try out this app as I'm learning AWS in my class and this looks like it would be useful.

If you dont mind, do you mind shooting me a free copy?

I believe this is a notarized version of the app just 2-3 commits behind. And I'm away from my main dev machine and just have this link. I hope it works for u.

Thank you! I'll try out this app and report back for any UX issues or bugs if I find any!

Thank u

Hi, I tried the app but it keeps crashing after I input my secret.

Oh no buggg.. can u add the tag "Name" as key and whatever it's named as its value on the aws console for all the instances. I'm so mad that I'm away from my computer rn.

Sure, let me try. The app now crashes upon log in. I need to remove it completely with 3rd party app like app zapper to remove all the configs before I can try again.

No need, just update ur tags on the web aws console

Oh, sorry. I dont understand the instructions very well. So I add a new tag with the access key as the name?

What about the value?

Every EC2 instance has this thing called tags. Tags are just a list key value pairs u can give to most aws things. Usually the most common tag is name tag. Go to your EC2 console, just give ur instances a name.

In the launch wizard when u re launching a new instance, it gives u an option to set tags, just type in "Name" for key and "my instance" for value. U can either do that. Or after launching when it lists all ur instances u can just give ur instance a name in the first column

Ah yes, it's working now! Thanks!
