"I'd love to see an extreeeemely minimal tool which lets you drop some files in a folder and then create an index page that links to those."

I use the tree command on BSD to do just that. It has the option of creating html output with a number of additional options.

An example: tree -P *.txt -FC -H http://baseHREF -T 'Your Title' -o index.html

Oh wow thanks for sharing. I use tree all the time, but had no idea you could do this. baseHREF should be the full root domain, e.g. example.com?

Yeah. And play around with it. It's quite flexible. Color, CSS and other goodies. Takes me about 2 seconds to update my entire site...
