I just noticed that the WiFiWebServer project just got archived. I am wanting a much richer web server that can at least serve static files instead of forcing me to client.print() every string and handle complex tasks like real authentication, cookies, and chunking. All the libraries I can find make me feel like I am building a web server itself from scratch and anything more than a simple few boxes of config are just not going to be feasible. I will drive most data into the cloud, but I want to build a good initial setup and wireless config experience. I can accept that this arduino doesn't have sufficient memory for much and moving most of the web files (including media) to alternate larger store is going to be needed.
you can use the library even when it is archived
I guess that’s why ESP32 is more popular when you need to build a webserver
