Wappalyzer extension says it's using Firebase, are you? If so, why mixing it with all the AWS stuff? I've been using Firebase for quick mini-projects and it's fun and quick it is for prototyping. If you use it for hosting, no worries about Cloudfront, routing, SSL, or anything... it even automates the github CI/CD.

How did you like using vanilla JS? What sort of build tool did you use?

ChatGPT actually suggested firebase for some very basic JSON event logging output I wanted to produce but I'm just realising AWS has something called amplify?

JavaScript has a reputation for being quirky but I'm assuming it has come a long way in the last 10 years (or maybe not) but very quickly I became comfortable with it in an obviously limited way. Next project I'd be more interested in a framework but I'm glad I cut my teeth trying to understand the basics first
