Feature Request: Enhancements for WiFi Dead Drop

[Mraanderson]

Summary

The WiFi Dead Drop feature works well as a concept, but several improvements would significantly enhance usability, reliability, and real‑world use cases (e.g., weddings, parties, anonymous file exchanges).
Below is a consolidated list of suggested enhancements. No offence will be taken if any or all are ignored.

---

📊 Dashboard & Logging Improvements

• Download counts not updating
  The display dashboard does not register download numbers for any file type.
• Upload counts incomplete
  Uploads are logged, but notes left are not included in the dashboard statistics.
• Notes stored in a single file
  All notes are appended to one .txt file with no option for user‑defined titles, making organization difficult.

---

📡 Connectivity & UX Enhancements

• QR code for WiFi connection
  Add a QR code that automatically configures the WiFi connection and redirects users to http://192.168.4.1 (captive‑portal style).
• Captive redirect
  Optional auto‑redirect when connecting to the AP to streamline user flow.

---

🔐 Administration & File Management

• Admin area
  A simple password‑protected admin interface to:
  • View uploaded files
  • Delete individual files
  • “Burn everything” (wipe all uploads/notes)
  • View system status

---

💾 Storage & SD Card Handling

• Disk space indicator
  Display remaining SD card space on the dashboard or admin page.
• Automatic folder creation
  When a clean SD card is inserted, automatically create required folders if missing.
  Could be implemented as a “WiFi Dead Drop Card Prep” routine.

🎉 Additional Use Case

These improvements would make the WiFi Dead Drop a compelling standalone side project for events such as:

• Weddings
• Parties
• Conferences
• Anonymous photo/file sharing stations

Users could easily upload notes, photos, or files without needing internet access.
