I'm just launching a file manager (https://fman.io https://fman.io). In general I'd say use web / SaaS whenever possible. If you do go with desktop, you may be interested in a blog post I just wrote about the technologies we ended up picking: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016 https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-....

I read your blog and it seems that you have something similar to my case, at least as technologies are concerned. I also have my business logic in Python and one of my ideas is PyQt (or Qml through pyotherside). How are you shipping the application to users without Qt or Python installed? Are you using something like cx_freeze?

Very good idea, if you can pull off what sublime did to text editors, then take my money :) I'm still using Total Commander, but I definitely see the need for a more focused app that help my directory browsing habits. Subscribed, rooting for your project.

Very cool. Subscribed. Waiting for a decent alternative to FAR Manager.
