Minimal self-hosted file sharing
https://github.com/gidoBOSSftw5731/imgsrvr I did something similar to this a while ago, but it's nice to see other people taking a crack at the issue.

The beauty of CGI and simple design
> Zero external configuration, other than telling your webserver to enable CGI on your file
This is only true if you've done it before, and know what you're doing. In reality, it looks like a mess of `mod_cgi` configuration, trying different combinations of file permissions, finding the magic `cgi_bin` directory, finding the right obscure log files when there are inevitably errors, wrestling with CORS and other subtleties of HTTP headers, and other complexities that are only easy to navigate if you're already an experienced CGI user.
That being said, I love the philosophy of using CGI for scripts. Instead of using CGI itself, though, I wrote a (single-file, statically-linked) web server called "QuickServ" to bring this philosophy into the twenty-first century. It has all of the upside of CGI, but is much easier to set up and run, especially for beginners.
One of its benefits is that it automatically parses submitted HTTP forms, and converts the form fields to command line arguments. That means it's extremely easy to put existing CLIs on the web with minimal changes other than writing an HTML form front-end.
If you like CGI, I will (shamelessly) ask that you check it out!

Websocketd – It's like CGI, twenty years later, for WebSockets
This is awesome! This occupies a similar niche to—and might pair well with—my user friendly, single-binary webserver with CGI-like capabilities called QuickServ. When I released that here, one of the comments was that it would be nice to have WebSocket support. Now, I can just point people to this!
