A simple file explorer created because I wanted to learn the Rust language.
It is cross-platform and optimized for performance.

Performance is achieved through "jwalk" and "Tauri".

CoDriver does not use path caching to access files and folders, so performance is determined by Rust, disk speed, and CPU power.

⁉️ Please note that this software is still a work in progress and may contain bugs!
