New Typescript package for simple S3 Storage access

Hello everyone!

TL;DR:

A new npm package for accessing S3 storage
Full TypeScript support, authentication, middleware, encryption, metadata, and more.
Check it out!

I've been working on a new project lately that I'd like to share with you.

I always found working with S3 storage buckets very cumbersome, and all the boilerplate code you had to write when setting up a new app really annoyed me. There are a few packages in the npm ecosystem that attempt to solve this problem, but they often didn't meet my expectations or were no longer being maintained.  That's why I started developing my own library: vs3 (Very Simple Storage Service). The package provides easy access to any S3-compatible storage bucket. I released the first beta version of vs3 yesterday.

I would love for you to take a look at the package and give me your feedback on what you think:  Currently, only React and Next.js integrations are available, but I plan to support additional frontend frameworks in the near future. (Any backend frameworks that support standard request and response objects can be used without integration.)

All the best
