Yeah I managed to get the file into the bucket. However I couldn't get the permissions to let it be publicly visible despite working through several tutorials.
I ended up on Netlify, it's 1000x more my speed.

First, I searched for "host static website on S3" and found an AWS docs page with a walkthrough.
Then, I created an S3 bucket through the console. I uploaded a "hello world" index.html file to it.
Then I went to Properties, checked "Use this bucket to host a website" and gave it the name of my index file. When I clicked Save, I had a hosted HTML file that I could navigate to.
I'm struggling to see how it could be simpler than that. What exact problems did you run into?
However when I was doing it I don't think there was a "Use this bucket to host a website" button. Instead you had to give the bucket a special type of permissions which meant anyone could see the contents but no one could write to it. I kept following the guide as closely as I could but I couldn't get it to take.
Again it may be that is super easy and I fucked up something obvious however I tried a lot of times a lot of different ways until I gave up in rage.
