HomeServer

Intranet Home server for easy file sharing among home devices. I made this as I was not finding a good tool to browse my photos residing on my desktop but I wanted to access them on my mobile without uploading them to any cloud service. Just select a folder and press start. It will give you a link which you can open in any web browser across all your intranet devices.
