    I couldn’t find any reason they’re winding down. I wonder why? Was this planned? Battlefield Fatigue? I’ve used it before, had no real complaints. It fit the use case at the time.

      It’s there on the readme: https://hacdias.com/2026/07/28/filebrowser/

      The project needs a rewrite from scratch, but the author had enough.

        File Browser would need to be rewritten from the ground up, with security and a good API in mind, neither of which was on my mind when I was 15.

        Ok, fair enough. I hope someone rewrites it, though.

      I’ve tried to use quantum and it lost the “just works” factor that OG filebrowser has. Not sure what I’ll do now
