FileSender Multistage

FileSender is an open source web application for sending files of any size, quickly and securely. The sender has full control over who receives and can access the files and for which period of time – as it should be. It is important to FileSender users (especially first time users) that the flow for submitting files and downloading them is smooth. There is no one user experience that covers all use cases, and moreover people might be used to proprietary services that can offer a simple experience - courtesy of them not being federated or interoperable across instances. That means a need for supporting diversity in several dimensions. In this project will swap out the bespoke legacy CSS behind FileSender and switch to a widely used framework, which makes customisation easier for the developers. Another focus is on performance tuning: FileSender needs to run maintenance free and handle tens of thousands of users on a single install without problems. This project will deliver several improvements to FileSender to improve overall performance, stability and security.
