Made some solid progress on Noya Explorer today. The app was already able to list files and navigate directories but it felt bare. I added a sidebar with quick access to the home folder, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and all the drives on my machine, it auto-loads the last visited folder on startup so you pick up where you left off. There’s also a proper breadcrumb now that lets you click any parent folder or type a path directly. Navigation works with back/forward/up buttons and keyboard shortcuts too (Alt+arrows or Backspace to go back). Then I built a storage analysis panel that recursively scans the current directory from Rust, categorizes every file by type, and shows a breakdown with total size, file count, and visual bars per category: images, videos, audio, documents, archives, code, executables. The whole thing compiles and runs as a Tauri desktop app, and it’s starting to look like a real file explorer so im happy with it
