WIP: Custom WiFi Pineapple Nano UI/Admin Portal

[jeffrey]

Hi all,

I wanted to see if anyone has attempted something similar in the past (tried searching GitHub without any luck) — I'm wanting to develop a custom UI instead of the plain, buggy Angular frontend that currently drives the admin interface (was planning on using React).

So far, I haven't had a lot of luck interacting with the API or via a generated API token — it looks like I'm having issues with CORS, because preflight requests are being rejected `HTTP 405`s — as a quick test, I made a backup of the `index.html` in the `/pineapple/` directory and was able to authenticate/interact with the API just fine. Anyone familiar with how I could relax the CORS on my `nginx` or via PHP so I could build out a new frontend?

Any/all help would be appreciated!

Hey jeffrey,

We are actually close to releasing a new WiFi Pineapple firmware which will feature a bunch of improvements to the base system and webinterface. Our current plan is to put the updated webinterface up on GitHub, so that community members like yourself can contribute to it properly.

While I respect your desire to create a new interface, I would encourage you to contribute to the existing one instead. We could use any extra pairs of eyes, and are happy about all contributions.

Hey Sebkinne,

I’d love to help out in any capacity! Didn’t realize an update was in the works - any ETA on a release/or when it would be added to GitHub?
