Hello all, I thought this group would be interested in a major new release  
of a tool I've been developing and using for a while now.

Elastic Hammer is an open source elasticsearch GUI/query tool. It runs  
directly in your browser without any installation required, and can be  
found: [http://elastichammer.exploringelasticsearch.com/](http://elastichammer.exploringelasticsearch.com/) .

It currently sports the following features:

- Auto-checks JSON as you type
- Compact, auto-sizing layout, for maximum information density
- Displays image URLs as actual images, URLs in search results as links
- Path based API detection enabling automatic smart settings during use
- Uses HTML5 localstorage to keep your request history

In the future I'm looking to add:

- More compact/smart output formatting (Search results take up too much  
space, metadata could fit into a smaller box)
- Autocompletion of indexes / types
- Scriptable output formatting

The source code is available here on github:
