Hi all,

for the past few months, I've had a chance to start a private project called Rodeo, a clone of MC or NC. After a while, it took most of my free time away so I took AI assistance to help me out finish it. I am releasing it as the open source; it was (and still is) my entry to the Rust and honestly, AI took a good job helping me understand few Rust paradigms (btw, The Rust Programming Language book helped too!).

If you are the Terminal person as I am, love the vim-based shortcuts and would like something old but new, give it a shot and let me know, how you like it and what feature would you like to see implemented. I'll be happy to add it to TODO list ;)

Thank you for your question. The first thing you will notice is the ui, which Rodeo, uses the two-pane l, where as Yazi is a directory/preview and file browsing popup. Yazi also uses most of external tools (zoxide, jq, fd etc) where as Rodeo uses a-lot of Rust crates to achieve the similar result. Rodeo doesn’t have that much external dependencies. At the end, it’s personal preference. I like the mc/nc setup more, that was the sole reason to develop it too. I hope I answered your question 👍🏻
