For blank image creation, we can print out a basilisk command with proper option in HTML that ask user to run basilisk binary to create that image.
All we need is to add new options to BII source code that take in size parameter and surface image creation in command line.
Any user that feels comfortable taking text output and running it on the command line can probably manage creating their own disk images. The idea with a UI is to do all that for them, which we should be able to do using zip.js or node.js. We could even roll in a basic perl or python interpreter (or LUA), that can use its sys library to generate and place a null file without user interaction.
Or we could just go the UME route, and leave it to platform-dependent front ends, and integrate only the configuration into an SDL interface, with command line flags to set things that way as well from the front end UI.
