S3 Frontend

Hi. I would like to make a frontend for S3.

Some features I’d like to implement:

  1. Frontend. So you can browse a bucket/folder in S3.
  2. Shareable (anonymous) link for folder with access to all child objects.
  3. Download folder as ZIP.

The reason I wanted to make this is because I recently took some photos and I wanted to share them with a friend. But the photos are full resolution, so my easiest option was to set up Minio on my VPS because the size is too much to do via Google Drive.

Sure, for this use-case, it will be simple enough to use P2P, but it got me thinking, and it’s something I want to make. I think it will be useful for many other use-cases.

I do have Golang and React experience. So that’s what I’m going to use.

I’m experienced in development, but not in cloud tech. S3/Minio is something very new to me. So I hope it’s not going to limit the initial functionality of my application that I don’t have much experience in the technology.

Hope it is a successful #devember2020 project.
