Demo app feature requests
nathanathan opened this issue · 3 comments
The demo app has turned out to be a really useful component for me. There are a couple features that I think would make it even more useful:
- Setting the path via URL parameters. With this I could link directly to the directory that I want an user to add files to.
- The ability to download directories as zips.
I might try to add this myself, but if someone else can get to it before me, I put a bounty on it:

These are good ideas. I especially like the ability to download as a zip. I've done something
similar with zip.js in the past. However, I'm not sure it's worth investing in making the demo more
full featured. It's supposed to show the library, not be a standalone awesome app of death...although it is :)
I think it's worthwhile. I'm not aware of any other HTML5 file system managers, so it does a great job at filling a niche for me. What I like about it is that I can allow users to manage application data without a backend, and without doing anything more than linking to your demo app. I'm currently using it as a way for users to upload interview guides (i.e. lists of questions) that my application renders in a nice way.
