FEATURE: Add files using a web uploader.

[NathanDrake2406]

Feature request

• Add files using a web uploader.

Narrative

• When using the paid Bound app, I can import files very easily by logging into 192.168.0.81 on my PC and dropping files in. It takes 5 seconds for a 1 GB file.

This app is much better organised, with more features and better playback. However, importing is extremely tedious, especially for the PC users. Could you somehow implement this? Thank you.

I thought about using this library https://github.com/swisspol/GCDWebServer , but it's no longer supported since Jan 2023, so currently I don't have an easy way to go about this.

In the meantime, you should be able to do it via iTunes File sharing on a PC, you could just drop the files in the BookPlayer app in there, and it should work

I was researching into this a few years back (I even went as far as testing some UI, which sadly led nowhere). It is most likely possible to use Vapor for this. https://www.kodeco.com/31498014-running-a-web-server-on-ios-with-vapor

Vapor is a full-fledged web server framework, so it should bring all the necessary bits. This is not a small effort.

Cool library, I used it to synchronize and download files
