Show HN: nnn – The missing terminal file browser for X

  Very cool, very nice, but what about `ranger`? I don't see any differences between the two.

    Performance to begin with: https://github.com/jarun/nnn#performance https://github.com/jarun/nnn#performance You also have other goodies like a quick disk usage analyzer mode, navigate-as-you-type, superfast search-as-you-type filtering... extremely handy navigation shortcuts like `~` (tilda for HOME), `-` (last visited dir), `&` (startup dir), `cd .....` etc. All of it in < 40 KB binary size (`ls` is around 126.5 KB), around 4 MB resident memory footprint.

      Thank you. I'm removing ranger and installing nnn.

        Actually I've tried nnn and changed my mind, it is indeed minimal and fast, but ranger has a lot of cool features I would miss (only file and image previews, actually).

          That's something I wanted to avoid by design. But I understand. Many thanks for trying it out!

  Shouldn't it be called "nnn is not noice"?
