Extension idea: file explorer

[Irubataru]

This is probably a request for a new extension, or maybe it makes sense as a core functionality, but I would love to have a tree-based file explorer. Very often, I open my file explorer simply to open a file. This would be a great use-case for vicinae as I simply want to open the file, I don't need the file explorer.

The file search works great, but I don't always know the name of my file, or if there are multiple files names the same it's not always that easy to navigate.

There is a "File manager" extension on the raycast store, but that's made for Mac.

yeah you can kinda do that with the native Raycast file search, but currently our file search doesn't have this. This is low priority so I guess an extension could be a good middle-ground in the meantime

This is my attempt as an extension, still work in progress:

pretty cool! the upcoming frontend rewrite should make the markdown renderer experience much smoother for your previews :)
