Made progress on Noya Explorer today. After the initial setup I wanted to get something actually working, a basic file browser that can list files from a folder on my computer. I wrote a Rust command in Tauri that reads a directory and returns the file list with names, sizes, dates and whether each entry is a folder or a file. Then I built a simple React interface that calls this command and displays the results. You can click a button to open a folder picker and the files show up in a list with icons based on file type. Clicking a folder navigates into it, and there’s a back button to go up.I also added a simple file type detection system based on extensions — images, videos, audio, documents, archives, code files, executables. Each type gets its own emoji icon for now. The file list shows name, size and modification date. Nothing fancy yet but it actually works.The UI is dark themed with a clean header and a basic toolbar. Still looks like a prototype but the core loop is there: pick a folder, browse its contents, navigate around. So i’m happy. Next I want to add search, sorting and folder size calculation.
