Looks nice and like a good idea, but according to the FAQ it's Windows only and there are currently no concrete plans to change that - maybe you should mention that somewhere in the introduction, e.g. "Ritt supercharges your Windows file management with the power of tag trees"? You might argue that Windows is still the dominant platform, but not so sure how true that is for your target audience (users who install a paid file manager). Of course, being cross-platform would be an additional selling point (people would be able to use the same file manager on several platforms).
- chenxy88 2y agoThanks for the comment! I am working to port this over to Mac and Linux with Uno platform, hopefully in the next few months!
- snthpy 2y agoLooks great and I might give this a try but I agree with rob74 that cross-platform would be better. It makes sense that the Windows Explorer (or file system gui integration more generally) would be platform specific but presumably the tree walker and indexer would be fairly generic? What about an open source core which does the file indexing and could be cross-platform? That part is also the kind of core tech where you might get bugfixes and new feature contributions from HN types. The shell integrations could then be part of the paid offering for the (majority of) people who don't care about that and just want something that works and is easy to use?
- darkteflon 2y agoYeah that’s disappointing. I have been looking for a good tag-based file-manager for around 3 years and would pay for a good one but never found something that fit the bill. Would’ve loved to try this but I’m not on Win.
