I’m looking for a skilled developer to create a lightweight desktop utility devoted entirely to smarter, faster file management. The core idea is to give everyday users an intuitive tool for browsing, copying, moving, renaming, and deleting files without the bloat that often comes with full-scale suites. Think of it as a streamlined upgrade to the default OS file explorer, focused on speed and clarity. Key points I have in mind • Runs smoothly on modern Windows machines (cross-platform support is a welcome bonus). • Clean, no-nonsense interface that lets people see folder trees, drag-and-drop between panes, and trigger bulk actions with minimal clicks. • Reliable handling of large batches—performance should remain snappy even when a user selects thousands of files. • Error handling that never leaves data in limbo; every operation needs clear confirmation or rollback messaging. Deliverables • Ready-to-install executable. • Full, well-commented source code. • Short user guide covering the main workflows. Acceptance criteria 1. All standard file actions (copy, move, delete, rename) complete without corruption or crashes. 2. Bulk operations on 10k+ files finish within a reasonable timeframe and show progress feedback. 3. UI responds in under 200 ms to navigation or selection changes on a typical SSD. If you already have a preferred stack—C#, WPF, Electron, QT, or something else—let me know why it fits the brief. I value clear communication and predictable milestones, so shoot me a quick outline of your approach and any questions you have, and let’s build a solid utility together.
