This page is a bootloader capable of creating a Filer filesystem, - installing a zipped archive to that filesystem, and loading files from it.
+Boot options are passed on the query string. Valid options include:
-?resetformat the current fs (wipe it)
- ?install={zipfile url} (e.g., ?install=webmaker-kits-gh-pages.zip, ?install=restaurant-gh-pages.zip)
- ?/{path to file in filesystem} (e.g., ?/webmaker-kits-gh-pages, ?/restaurant-gh-pages.zip)
- A web server in your web browser
+If you wnat to install your own .zip file, select it:

+This page is a bootloader for a web-page based web server. It creates a persistent filesystem in your browser + (using Filer). This filesystem is then used to host web sites + and applications, which are installed from zip archives (e.g., all GitHub repos have a Download link to create a zip).
+ +The files in the filesystem can then be served using paths on the query string. The filesystem is shared across + all windows using the same origin, which means you can have an application in one tab editing files, and nohost + showing you those files in another.
+ +Boot options are passed on the query string. Valid options include:
+?reset (e.g., ?reset format the current fs, erasing all files)
+ ?install={zipfile.zip} (e.g., ?install=webmaker-kits-gh-pages.zip, ?install=restaurant-gh-pages.zip)
+ ?/{path/to/file/in/filesystem} (e.g., serve the file at a given path, ?/webmaker-kits-gh-pages, ?/restaurant-gh-pages)
+ You can also install your own web site or application via a zip file. Use the button below to find one on your local computer.
+NOTE: no files are ever uploaded to any server. Everything is local to your browser.
