This is the Wiki for my file manager project.

I am not satisfied with how most file managers work on Windows and Linux, after having used Finder for a few years, and so I am exploring writing my own. So far, I have been testing things in Go, and slowly speccing how this should be built.

I would like to have a few things in my file manager:

• Finder-style Miller columns
• Finder-style space bar preview
• No UI thread blocking

So far, the focus is on implementing the functionality that I need for my own needs, but some of the things I have been toying with could enable more complex functionality, such as access to cloud/remote file systems.

However, I would like this to stay simple. Kind of like suckless ideology, but if it wasn't stuck in 1992.
