This is the most confusing thing I've seen all week. I don't actually understand what problem this is solving. Is this not equivalent to taking your html files, putting them in /var/www and then starting up apache ?

I understood exactly the same as you.

This doesn't exist as a service because it's the default thing that apache does.

Yes, this is mod_autoindex, right?

I don't get the point either, how is POSTing JSON + a zip file easier than using scp/rsync to copy html to the server? I guess the author has a very specific/restricted environment that the post fails to describe.

it seems to also enable POSTing new docs and DELETEing them but yeah, if this is meant to be self-hosted anyway, i am missing the point.

Apache, SSH, and/or rsync all support forms of that.

This feels like a product plug that's being upvoted. The article doesn't really make sense as a whole...

It's enough to mention that you like Linux and HTML5 to get all the upvotes...
