   SandCrab▲152

A few recent features I am excited about include the ability to search across all of your buckets using wildcards and regular expressions as well as searching and filtering by metadata (e.g. content type, file size, date created, etc).

    Pushduck – S3 uploads that run on Cloudflare Workers, no AWS SDK▲12

    I was tired setting up file uploads for multiple projects with bloated aws-sdk so built my own, my first attempt was next-s3-uploader, it worked but needed much better developer experience and wanted to get all benifits of typesafe Typescript, and wanted to have a very light weight toolkit that can do all things a dev needs to manage s3.
