Cool utility. Have you considered expanding this tool into a web app of some sort?

Yes, but let me ask you a question as a potential user first... Would you be willing to give my webapp access to your S3 account (read-only)?

I'd of course not look through the content your files (only the filesizes)... but you as user would have to trust me not to do that (unless there is some s3 permission level I am not aware of).

Is there a "list" permission? It exists on azure storage.

Great part of my bill comes also from the amount of HTTP requests to my buckets and having to download and analise the shitty CSV from AWS billing reports is a real pain.

Not saying storage is useless, but that it would be nice to have a tool that covers all these parts of what the billing is about without the monthly hassle.
