Do you have any major new features in mind you would like to implement (assuming you had time + help)?

I don't have anything planned.
But with infinite time, I'd:
- add some form of authentication, to limit uploads for example
- add a way to preview files on the Send page itself
- provide integrations with other platforms
- resolve outstanding issues

Some simple authentication would be fantastic, so I can run my own instance and only allow myself to upload things.

This can already be done with a reverse proxy and HTTP Basic authentication, but having it built-in would be nicer.

But then I'd have to give the password to anyone I wanted to receive files. I want to be able to send files to people but not have them be able to send to others.
Maybe adding HTTP basic auth is fine, as I mainly want to keep random bots from finding the service. I'll try that, thanks!
