Minimal File Search

Why I built it

Finding a file or understanding what consumes disk space should not require uploading an index or navigating a heavyweight file manager.

What I built

• Direct folder browsing, recursive search, filtering, renaming, opening, and moving items to the system trash.
• Background folder-size calculation and an interactive double-donut disk-usage view.
• Virtualized rendering for large result sets and separate workers for search and storage analysis.

What it taught me

• Responsiveness is a product feature when the data lives on the user’s disk.
• Privacy can be made legible through architecture: no uploaded index, telemetry, or file metadata.
