Project Introduction⚓︎
Foreword⚓︎
Suggestion
Building a solid foundation is crucial - precisely because most people are unwilling to do it, it becomes especially valuable.
Official Website⚓︎
-
Access the latest source code, submit issues, and participate in development.
-
Main Documentation Site (Recommended)
Stable and reliable documentation site, which may load slowly.
-
GitHub Pages mirror site, access may be limited.
-
Zread.ai-driven project interpretation for a quick understanding of project structure and APIs.
-
This website is made with MkDocs Material.
Tip
Both documentation sites are completely synchronized and hosted on GitHub, receiving real-time updates.
Project Philosophy⚓︎
Why develop a file manager?
While seemingly basic, a file manager is the perfect practice for core operating system components.
Through this project:
- Deeply understand core GUI programming concepts
- Master complex UI component interaction design
- Explore the limits of Python desktop applications
