Directory index redesigned

I never liked the default styling of the web directory index on macOS, so I redesign it.

Before 🤢 After 😍
Before After

Installing

  1. Download the repository and move the .dot files to the directory you want to style – for instance, on macOS that can be the Sites folder.
  2. Done!

To toggle visibility of .dot's files, do this on Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE && killall Finder

To get back to the default behavior, just change TRUE to FALSE.

Features

  • Responsive
  • Sort by name or modification date
  • Show/hide hidden files
  • Uses favicons from directories

Alternatives

Lots of people have pointed it out alternatives for this project. There's a lot of great stuff out there, so have a look:

  • Apaxy: enhance the experience of browsing web directories
  • h5ai: a modern HTTP web server index
  • LocalTheme: a beautiful and useful theme for localhost
  • Windex: stylized directory listings

Acknowledge

Code heavily taken from this post on CSS-Tricks. So hats off to Chris Coyier!
