Please don't screw it up. I use this constantly.

Co-Founder of Vantage here: Priority #1 is not to screw it up.

As we mentioned in the blog post, nothing is changing at the moment but we are looking to add more functionality in time. Ultimately everything we do is driven by user feedback so please get in contact with us about how we may be able to help.

As you're adding features, please maintain a high bar on speed and efficiency of the tool. I would really hate to see this thing bogged down with lots of fancy/unoptimized js libraries in the name of adding features

You will get a lot more SEO juice from that "Sponsored By" link by not moving it away from the original URL.

Good to hear!

As a user: PLEASE don't increas ethe amount of tracking and analytics. Twitter is enough. Remove it if you need something else.

This is a rule of thumb I’ve imposed on my product teams over the years. If you want to add (yet another) third party <script>, you have to be willing to drop one. It worked really well for us and forced product teams to focus harder on finding tools that tangibly help us as opposed to “looking cool”.

Thank you for the response. Regarding new features, I'd love to see Elasticsearch EC2 instance pricing added, to quickly get a ballpark month/year estimate.

Expansion of a similar format into other cloud providers and other AWS product offerings would definitely be useful.

Even if they do, it's on Github so anyone can fork away.

+1, it’s useful internally as a quick reference, too.
