### What is a WebStick?

WebStick is a USB stick form factor web server powered by a ESP12E/F module. The web content is serve over the SD card connected to the MCU via SPI link, providing basic HTTP web server function with less than 2W of power usage.

### Why WebStick?

If you are just hosting a web server for personal use with a few occasional guests, you do not need a Raspberry Pi that draws 15W 24/7 just for this purpose.
Instead, a WebStick with ESP8266 is just enough to do the tasks. With the help of CDN and Caching, even a 2W MCU running over WiFi can provide relatively acceptable performance for basic HTTP web services.
