Upload littlefs.bin

Nice tool! It would be nice if I also could upload the filesystem (littlefs.bin) with it.
Any plans for that?

There are no plans for that as this feature wouldn't be addressing the same user group the app was built for. IMO it already has too many knobs 😉 I assume if you know how to build a filesystem binary you are expert enough to also use a tool more geared towards exports?

Maybe if the GUI had some sort of "Advanced" section (collapsed by default) one could add a filesystem section there. I would certainly consider this if someone offered a PR to that effect.

That being said I already built something similar earlier. For my company ThingPulse we forked this project to build the App Fairy. Explanation in our blog at https://thingpulse.com/install-configure-apps-with-the-app-fairy/

It uses spiffsgen.py from Espressif to build a SPIFFS image containing the application properties entered in the GUI. That binary is then flashed after the app binary.
