A stupid simple file upload application that provides a clean, modern interface for dragging and dropping files. Built with Node.js and vanilla JavaScript.
No auth (unless you want it now!), no storage, no nothing. Just a simple file uploader to drop dumb files into a dumb folder.
- Drag and drop file uploads
- Multiple file selection
- Clean, responsive UI
- File size display
- Docker support
- Dark Mode toggle
- Configurable file size limits
- Drag and Drop Directory Support (Maintains file structure in upload)
