Made some really good progress on Noya Explorer over the last few days.One of the biggest changes is that the app is now fully translated in both English and French. I added a proper language system with a language switcher in the settings, and every part of the UI now uses translations instead of hardcoded text.I also started making the explorer feel more personal. There’s now a new Home page showing your most used files and recently opened files, plus a persistent Favorites system. You can pin folders straight from the explorer, manage them from the sidebar, and they’ll still be there the next time you launch the app.Search got a pretty big upgrade too. Instead of only looking at file names, it now ranks results by relevance and can even search inside text files with a small preview showing where the match was found.On the performance side I spent some time optimizing things. Long file lists are now virtualized so they stay smooth, and I started using Rayon on the Rust backend to parallelize heavier operations like directory sorting and storage analysis.I also cleaned up a good part of the codebase by splitting some large components into smaller ones, which should make future updates much easier to build.Noya Explorer is slowly starting to feel like a real daily driver instead of just a side project, and I’m really happy with the direction it’s taking.As always, I’m open to any suggestions or feedback, so if there’s a feature you’d like to see or something you think could be improved, let me know :)
