Hello! 👋 Thanks for reply.

  1. If you've many files to embed, you can create little helper func for its append to binary. For example, with filepath.Walk.

  2. I'm not sure, but on my some huge React.js app it works perfectly, as usual. But, some benchmarks it's better... 🤔

my solution:

for filename, content := range static.Map() {                               
         r.HandleFunc(fmt.Sprintf("/static%v", filename),                        
             func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {                      
                 http.ServeContent(w, r, "test.txt", time.Now(),                 
                 bytes.NewReader(content))                                                                  
         })                                                                                                 
}

static is my box pkg and the .Map just return the storages map

The problem now is because I use the html/template to generate some pages, and I can't use the funcs of this pkg :(
