Hi guys, first of thanks for your works it's really useful. I have your app running open at x.joor.net.

BTW, my question is about the parameter 'web-path' because I don't know what do I have to put at that path for having my front end page.

Thanks in advance for your support.

hello @oriolrius , thanks for you appreciation

regarding the custom front-end you are right: I should document how to setup

I will try to help you throught reference to the code, in the meanwhile.

The frontend exepect to have some files with fixed names processed as go templates.
The variable used in the templates are the following:
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/blob/master/server/handlers.go#L177-L187
These will be used in the template files as {{ .ContentType }} for example.

You can find the list of filenames for the preview page in these lines:
https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/blob/master/server/handlers.go#L123-L158

and for the index page here: https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/blob/master/server/handlers.go#L231-L236 (both text and htlm)

You could checkout and build https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh-web to see the template samples from the embedded frontend.

Please let me know if it helped

Thanks @aspacca for helping me, finally I had some hours for trying it. I spend more than 2h trying to understand how grunt and bower works but finally, I had the chance to customize the UI.

Sadly, I spent about 3' to "compile" everything every time I want to check any change because I have to wait "grunt build". I suspect I miss something about how to do it.
