    I don't think the level of reliability necessary for a file manager is achievable with vibe coding. This is an area where small bugs can cause immediate and catastrophic data loss.

    If you're shopping for a file manager, I recommend avoiding any project that incorporates a significant amount of LLM-generated code. Maybe in theory it could be reviewed as thoroughly as handwritten code; in practice that never happens.

      I was mildly excited clicking the link and then I saw that ... I guess this is the shape of things to come.

    Midnight Commander has always been my favorite terminal file manager. It's feature-rich, fast, and actually tries to be a file manager compared to modern alternatives. However, there are quite some features that I never used, and I couldn't configure a Vim bindings that works well for me.

    With OpenCode, I can finally make my own terminal file manager. I borrowed the main design concepts from Midnight Commander and some behavior from NVim-Tree file explorer.

    I hope you would like it, at least I do. Since this project is entirely vibe-coded, so I'm not going to accept PR from the community, but feel free to open issues and fork it.

      still haven't found anything that replaces mc for me. the 2-pane layout is basically muscle memory at this point. everything modern just feels way too bloated or slow. mc is great but customizing the bindings is a total headache tbh. really like the idea of better vim integration here. curious how it handles performance on large directories with 10k+ files? giving it a spin...

    The AGENTS.md is hilarious! I like the caveman mode and classical mode seems.. interesting!

      Interesting that in Chinese, classical writing is associated with terseness. That definitely wouldn't work that way in other languages I know.
