GUI.Forms
A custom-rendered C++ alternative to WinForms, with native macOS output and PE64/Wine proving builds.
Active system program · local computing
File Manager
Not one application. A nested collection of ideas about how a local computer should present files, remember state, search, and share authority.
Current question
Can every layer remain inspectable and replaceable without giving up a coherent everyday tool?
The pieces
Web.Forms
Bounded HTML and CSS compiled into retained native GUI.Forms controls—the path toward visual web-shaped authoring without shipping a browser engine.
Exact search engine
A Go catalogue, live search path, fallback retrieval, and persistent generations for local files.
Cross-platform front end
A C++ file interface with protected-root experiments, read-only defaults, and native UI integration.
Persistent state and policy
Durable catalogue generations in the Engine; bounded settings, capabilities, handlers, and process supervision in the Rust Orchestrator.
Semantic concept memory
Provider-managed semantic hives live beyond the exact catalogue boundary. They do not get to silently redefine file truth.
Distributed file and index access
Paired machines should expose bounded availability and index information across a LAN. That branch is designed, not yet delivered.
