NOTE: This is alpha-quality software! It may delete and/or corrupt your files at some point and cause other losses, non-intentionally though. Also your sense of aesthetics may be hurt. Use at your own risk and expense. I'm always happy to make it better if you tell me what should be changed, or you can post a PR in the spirit of OSS.
We all sometimes file, and here is a double-panel file commander. It's been created because I couldn't use what I wanted to due to legal regulations, and what I could use looked bad, didn't have the true rough spirit of a double-panel file commander. So rock ur files, folks :)
This is built in Rust on the TUI framework derived from Microsoft Edit. It is an immediate mode TUI, very small and just enough.
Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can download the latest pre-release 0.0.2.
