I've built an AngularJS app on top of Elasticsearch but it was specific to my index. I used the Elasticsearch angular adapter that comes with the JS client and wrote a service/factory around it. Definitely interested in something generic to browse an index.
I would really love something that would also let me test queries. There used to be the Sense Chrome plugin but that's been bundled into Marvel and not as available.

As socalnate1 mentions above this is very possible to scale up a small e-commerce operation and be profitable immediately - especially in niche products. There are several case studies for this.
For example I sell cases for mobile bluetooth speakers. Our Jambox case was profitable instantly and I paid for the first batch of inventory with revenue from a pre-launch sales discount. The first batch of inventory was paid for with sales before I had the product on hand. I packaged and shipped them out of my home office until it was a pain in the ass and now we use Amazon FBA. We use profits to purchase additional inventory at greater quantities to increase the profit margin. Rinse & repeat.
Granted this isn't Amazon scale but it's working. See Dodocase for another example (they are doing way better than us). http://mixergy.com/dodocase-patrick-buckley-interview/
One of the keys is to start small to prove the market so you don't end up with a shit load of inventory in your garage. Or better yet do what I did and sell them before you even have them made. We started with 50 units which I was fortunate to sell almost all of using pre-launch tactics before we ordered the inventory from our manufacturer.
