This got me to try out out the Fileside app (an Explorer/Finder alternative) from the blog post author. It's available for Windows and Mac. I think this is an interesting space with room for innovation. Fileside starts out with a grid of four directories: Home, Documents, Desktop and Downloads. You can customize and name new grid layouts that are shown in a sidebar for quick switching. This seems like a neat idea for specific recurring manual workflows. It's doesn't seem to be targetted to the minimalist crowd. Directory entries beginning with a dot are visible (but greyed out). Full Unix-style permissions are shown for each entry, etc. It looks like it's Electron-based and implemented in a javascript SPA framework. It doesn't use the default system font (SF Pro) on Mac. A bunch of other things also don't look or behave as you expect. The font weight in the size column maps to each file's relative size. All the way from very thin to very bold. Kind of cute. The path completion seems pretty good - as could be guessed from the blog post. I think this app sometimes confuses power with details/verbosity. There are some gold nuggets in there though.
