Backstory: What started as a personal project to quickly host some web pages turned into a rabbit hole of yak shaving and that is how I ended up making Binserve. I automated the steps I usually take to host static pages into this project which is tweakable via the configuration file. And its also pretty fast.

Let me know your feedback/suggestions!

Looks awesome.

Would be great if you could specify gzip or brotli compression to statically compress certain specified files.

Have a plan to get a site up this year so will definitely have a play with Binserve.

Thanks! :)

It currently does gzip compression by default. Compression modes for specific files sounds interesting, I will definitely get around to implementing that.
