Does exactly what it should, the file browsing interface is great. Allows to specify the port and network interfaces to use. Overall a very well made little server

supposedly minimal, but full of bizarre overhead and bloat in the client side. why must every request be wrapped by 69 layers of loading modules and html pages implemented with ungodly complexity, with inexplicable choices like replacing the context menu with an html element instead? god only knows. but it definitely shows in the teen-seconds it takes to open each url.
