Private Package Manager

##Pages

###Upload a new package (/upload) ####User interface

• File Upload field accepting apk, zip, tar

• Text field that accepts URLs

• Button that:

  1. if file has been dragged in the browser sends the file through a web form
  2. if link has been typed in the text field, sends the value of the textfield through a web form

• View List button which brings the user to /list page

####How it works

• When user uploads a file the server:

  • creates a new folder in folder uploads with name = current timestamp (using Date.now() for example)
  • saves the file with its original name in the created folder

• When user saves a URL link the server:

  • creates a new folder with name = current timestamp (using Date.now() for example)
  • saves a txt file that contains the link that has been send by the client

###List of packages (/list) ####User interface

• • list in a jade template that represents sorted by date packages

  • each li contains:

    • QR code area which is empty by default but if user clicks on the
    • the QR code gets generated. QR actually contains the link of the package or the url from the txt file.
    • a text representing the link to the package or the url from the txt file. In both cases the text is auto selected on click so user can ctrl+c the link and send it if they want

  • Upload button that brings the user to /upload page
