## What is Lamdi?

Lamdi is a simple app that lets you preview a static website by selecting the folder that has an index.html file. 

Lamdi will then open a web preview of your static website and allow you to interact with it directly on your device. 

You can Also configure some settings such as Basic Auth. 

If you have access to a folder where the contents are encrypted with RClone, You can open these folders on device and even share files to other applications as well.

If you want to use a button to navigate forward, backwards or reload there are buttons for those actions.

If you need to reset the preview window you can clear the cache in the settings menu as well.

Lamdi will also allow you to load static websites with nested assets where for example your images may be located in a subfolder from your index.html which helps you better organize your website assets.

Lamdi doesn't need any internet access to work because it loads the website directly from your devices storage.

Lamdi can also work with static websites stored on an external drive thanks to MFI adapters that can allow you to view contents of say an SD Card or a USB Flash drive.

Lamdi allows you to navigate to the previous page by swiping left and navigate forward to the page you were just on by swiping right.

Lamdi also allows you to pull down to reload the page you currently have open.

Lamdi can also enable other devices on the same network to connect to your website preview by accessing the address located in the help sheet when available.

These instructions are also available inside the help button in the app.

Have a site you frequently like to open,  the Authenticated Recently Opened Websites allows you to quickly jump back to a particular website. It lets you rename, delete or even hide items in this list via a tap and hold or right click context menu.

If you wish to Auto Fill the password used for RClone Encryption into a password field on your opened website, just tap the Lamdi logo when the password field is visible on your website.

Note:  Lamdi does not support opening website folders from third party apps. It only allows opening a website folder from iCloud Drive, On My Device, Samba Server Connections, and Physically Connected External Storage Mediums.
