I'm an amateur photographer and I've got tons of photos in albums that I'd love to display using a JavaScript app hosted on AWS. All my photos are stored in an S3 bucket, and I'm looking for some recommendations. Does anyone know of a good project that I could use? I'm somewhat familiar with JavaScript—I've dabbled in a bit of jQuery, MUI, and React—so I'm open to suggestions for projects or useful packages that could help me build my own app. Thanks for any help you're able to offer!

You can actually set up your S3 bucket to host a static website! Just check out AWS's documentation on website hosting for S3. It's pretty straightforward; you just create a basic website and link the image sources to your public S3 URLs. You’ll be showcasing your photos in no time!
I’ve done something similar, but I'm really more interested in how to explore the JavaScript side of the project. Would love to hear any specific JS tips!
Make sure to set up a CloudFront distribution in front of your bucket to keep things secure and cost-effective. It helps avoid making your entire bucket public!
