Till.sh, enhanced access controls for AWS S3

Hi everyone, I'm an independent developer who has been building an S3-related project over the past few months: https://till.sh. I wanted to share it in its MVP state to get others' opinions on the idea and to see if anyone is interested in being an early tester. ## What is it The core concept is that Till provides an S3 API proxy that authenticates with its own custom keys. This enables us to build features that are not easily achievable with standard AWS credentials. Namely, we can add data limits to the keys, time-based expiration of keys, quickly surface access logs, and apply…

In plain words

Till.sh is an S3 API proxy that provides enhanced access controls for Amazon S3 storage. It authenticates users with custom keys instead of standard AWS credentials, enabling features like data usage limits, time-based key expiration, detailed access logging, and custom billing policies. The tool is designed for organizations and developers who need granular control over S3 access for data portals, client data sharing, and usage-based billing scenarios.

    Hello HN. SandCrab is an app I originally had the idea for and hacked together over a couple of weekends last October. More recently, I’ve been working on adding new features to it as I use it more as my daily tool to interact with my s3 buckets. A few recent features I am excited about include the ability to search across all of your buckets using wildcards and regular expressions as well as searching and filtering by metadata (e.g. content type, file size, date created, etc). I’ve also added support for configuring and generating presigned urls directly in the app which is nice. The app…

    So first, what are we? A Clubhouse inside the terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :). ssh late.sh (or use the companion CLI) That's all. No passwords. No OAuth. No accounts. Your SSH key is your identity. Honestly, I've been a little nervous to post this. I wanted the Clubhouse to be something I'm genuinely proud of before sharing, and I think we are finally there :) There is so much here, so I'll really try to focus on the core: - full-scale chat, mentions, rooms, public and…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
