Implement a nice Web Interface

[nutinshell]

this would be cool!

I've got Regenwolken running on my own server and it's still a little magical when I upload something and it works perfectly. I'd love to help get a web interface built so that I can suggest regenwolken to friends who would use it but aren't comfortable enough running the CLI to manage or delete files, etc.

I'm a front-end dev who has built Rails apps before but never worked in Python or its ecosystem, which is probably why it took me a bit to get it setup on my server.

Do you have any recommendations on where to start or other projects to glean from?

Hi Jake,

the CLI application is written in Ruby and uses only the public API. As long as you don't need other API calls, you can write a RoR app.

If you need some new API calls, there's probably a way to implement them without interfering with the actual CloudApp API (e.g. "empty trash" is an unofficial regenwolken extension).

Sweet, I'll give it a shot and check back in when I have something to show or if I get stuck. Also thanks for taking the time to make Regenwolken in the first place!
