Pretty Localhost is Pretty

I never liked the default styling of localhost (directory index), so I redesign it.

Before 🤢	After 😍

Installing

1. Download the repository and move the .dot files to your localhost directory – on OS X, that will be the Sites folder.
2. Done!

To toggle visibility of .dot's files, do this on Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE && killall Finder

To get back to the default behavior, just change TRUE to FALSE.

Features

• Responsive
• Sort by name or modification date
• Show/hide hidden files
• Favicons

Alternatives

Lots of people have pointed it out alternatives for this project. There's a lot of great stuff out there, so have a look:

• Apaxy: enhance the experience of browsing web directories
• h5ai: a modern HTTP web server index
• LocalTheme: a beautiful and useful theme for localhost
• Windex: stylized directory listings
