Build on ur own. Sorry :)

Tech Stack

• Tauri: RUST based cross-platform framework
• RsBuild: RUST based bundler
• Biome: RUST based formatter & linter
• Tanstack Router
• Tanstack Query to handle async invoking to RUST functions
• Mantine UI
• React Window to render large grids of files/folders
• Specta to generate typesafety bindings

FFMPEG Thumbnailer produces better thumbnail/preview, but I don't know how to build it LOL.
