The webapp is a web server that displays a shiny interface.
## security
* Listen only to localhost.
* Instruct the user's web browser to open an url that contains a secret
token. This guards against other users on the same system.
* I would like to avoid passwords or other authentication methods,
it's your local system.
* Alternative for Linux at least would be to write a small program using
GTK+ Webkit, that runs the webapp, and can know what user ran it, avoiding
needing authentication.
## interface
* list of files uploading and downloading
* progress bars for each file
* drag and drop to reorder
* cancel and pause
* keep it usable w/o javascript, and accessible to blind, etc
## other features
* there could be a UI to export a file, which would make it be served up
over http by the web app
* Display any relevant warning messages. One is the `inotify max_user_watches`
exceeded message.
## implementation
Hope to use Yesod.
TODO: Ensure that Yesod will work on arm. Necessary for later Android port.
Will its template haskell cause a problem? Does new GHC support TH on ARM?
Will it use too much memory or be too slow?
Hopefully Yesod comes with some good UI widgets. Otherwise, need to use
Jquery or similar.
