Neat to see this here, I just started using this app a couple months ago and I like it.
I've been a big fan of alternative file managers for years. I loved LIST back in the DOS days as an alternative to DIR =) where you could easily browse folders, and view files in regular or hex view with a keypress.
After moving to Windows, I wanted something similar and found The V File Viewer (used to be called V, The File Viewer) by Charles Prineas (https://www.fileviewer.com https://www.fileviewer.com). This has hex view, CSV view, and many other useful features. It can be set up in a dual-paned fashion similar to the *-Commander line of apps, but with its own approach. I used Total Commander for a while too and registered it, but didn't stick with it.
Recently I wanted something similar that I could put on computers at work and share with staff, and found Double Commander and like it a lot. It has its own approach and quirks as well, but I'm getting used to it.
I also like that fact that it's written in Free Pascal and Lazarus. I used to do a lot with Delphi and this has gotten me back into that language with the thought that I might be able to contribute some changes at some point.
Also along those lines, just the other day I learned about CudaText which is a very nice open source programmer's editor similar to SublimeText. It's also written in Free Pascal and Lazarus. I'm happier using this and sharing with staff than I am with Visual Studio Code which comes with too much overbearing MS-ness for my preferences.
