One of the benefits of Atlas is the AWS credit, which has been useful for us. We would have much preferred to be on Google's cloud, though, and Google's startup program offers a lot more credit. Is there any plan for Atlas compani

It would be interesting if such a device had to be enabled for reading by, say, touching the tips of your thumb and finger together (like an "OK" gesture) so you had control over who could read it and when.
