Conet Android App

My first android app is online. Its a basic webserver with simple file-upload and file-synchronize via home wifi, thus creating a decentralized local wifi cloud. App is currently public beta:

► Install

Project consists of 2 components:
1.) a basic webserver where webapps are able not only to simply load files from filesystem (XMLHttpRequest) but also to save them to it.
2.) if there are multiple devices with this app running connected to home wifi, they see each other and synchronize files.
Thus Conet is somewhat like working with cloud files, without the cloud: Edit data on a device (possibly offline), then after getting home, file-changes are distributed to other devices, where the work might continue.
Howto start: Start app. Start browser with url "localhost:7000". See examples.
