I've been keeping tabs on this for quite a while. Some feedback:

- Indexing one of my localdev directories has taken a robust 35+ minutes so far, and I will likely not wait until the end of it

- Like others have commented, latency is an issue (macOS M1 14inch base model). I've added a location and even there it sometimes takes 2-4 seconds after opening a folder to see any files

- Am I missing something or are there no tabs yet?

- Extremely lean (too much) in the ways of file sorting and grouping (non-existent), although I wager this will be worked upon during development

- It does feel like I have to do a lot of work to get to sensible indexing (add lots of locations by hand, and so forth)

- I know it's local first, but the way telemetry and login work really does not sit right with me.

Overall I'm almost sure it's not a fit for me, as interacting with it was a bit disappointing, but I can see an audience and there's still ways to go. It looks really good. Best of luck!



Update on this: I actually forgot it on and it was still indexing stuff on that same localdev folder for over 4 hours. :(


This is really too slow. Using "ls -alR /" to list the metadata of every file on my entire hard drive (13,000,000 files) only takes about 25 min.
