httpim - HTTP-based image gallery server with thumbnails & caching

Why?

Have you ever hosted a local server with python -m http.server, but it lacks the ability to show image thumbnails so you could not find what you needed fast?

Or maybe you're playing with stable diffusion model and want to share /outputs folder with your friends?

If the answer is yes, this small tool is for you.

Showing screen-adaptive grid of folders + images + go up a level
