 * [very-bad-idea.py](./very-bad-idea.py) combined with [meadup.js](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/contrib/plugins/meadup.js) converts copyparty into a janky yet extremely flexible chromecast clone
   * also adds a virtual keyboard by @steinuil to the basic-upload tab for comfy couch crowd control
   * anything uploaded through the [android app](https://github.com/9001/party-up) (files or links) are executed on the server, meaning anyone can infect your PC with malware... so protect this with a password and keep it on a LAN!
