+A simple, responsive web interface to control wifi, hostapd and related services on the Raspberry Pi.
 
 This project was inspired by a [**blog post**](http://sirlagz.net/2013/02/06/script-web-configuration-page-for-raspberry-pi/) by SirLagz about using a web page rather than ssh to configure wifi and hostapd settings on the Raspberry Pi. I mostly just prettified the UI by wrapping it in [**SB Admin 2**](https://github.com/BlackrockDigital/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2), a Bootstrap based admin theme.
