XFolder
I’m a coding enthusiast who spends a lot of time on macOS, but I’ve always missed the Windows Explorer experience. Finder has no folder tree, no multi-pane views, and no tabs, so I decided to build my own file manager from scratch: XFolder.
Why a file manager is a perfect solo project:
- The UI can stay simple while the architecture gets interesting.
- The feature set is rich enough to learn a lot about app structure.
- You become your own first user, so bugs and UX issues surface fast and can be fixed quickly.
