Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Mercek is a local-first desktop IDE for Amazon ECS that aggregates multi-account, multi-region services into a single interface with features like deployment management, live logs, metrics, cost estimates, and an agent panel for AI-assisted operations. It is interesting for its read-only-by-default security model, direct AWS communication without a backend server, and the innovative integration of a coding agent protocol for safe exploration.
