Well, I was thinking about this. And I actually don't know how to interpret this sentence because there are lots of projects that are announced but don't have anything to show at all. Marta has – but the difference is that it does

By default, Marta shows file icons that identify directories pretty well. You are free to disable the icons and specify `directoryPrefix` and `directorySuffix` in conf.json. But it would be an interesting idea to make a "set up wizard&

You're right: it's the first preview version, not the complete product yet. Please stay tuned :) But if you have some specific problems with Marta, you can always contact me at mail@yanex[dot]org, or leave the TODO request here:

This is a completely valid point, thank you. I added it to the public TODO list: https://quip.com/TOH6Abh8ruxi . By the way, you can already change the font ( https://marta.yanex.org/docs#fonts ).

fman is a cross-platform application made with PyQt. I doubt if it will achieve the native macOS experience someday. And I think the difference is really important.

There's actually some sense under the chosen name. First of all, it is a platform name (Android) and a language name (Kotlin), joined together and abbreviated. The word "anko" is short and there's no other library with t
