From a previous use i knew this repository (and really liked it!) by its name ("filebox") and tried to google it ("golang filebox") but didn't find anything. I had to look it up on awesome golang. I'd suggest to add some tags like "filebox" to make this repo easiert to discover.

Renaming ist not the worst idea but will break builds.

It won't, because Github will auto-redirect to the new repo-url.

For the binaries you could symlink them with a deprecation warning (give them users 1y from now to adapt).

Eh, I'm not so sure golang/go#24076 (comment)

Github has probably introduced the required custom go-import-specific html meta tags by now.

Then you also might want to change the example ports from 1337 to something else.
