Dev log — 2026-10-17

Project bootstrap day: research, vault setup and roadmap.

What I did

• Defined the product: a ranger-inspired terminal file manager in Rust, extensible by Linux users.
• Ran market research across ranger, yazi, nnn, lf, joshuto, vifm, broot and others.
• Set up the Obsidian vault: templates in TMP/, docs structure, workflows.
• Chose the direction: ratatui + crossterm, kitty graphics first, script-based plugins first with Lua later (ADR-001 … ADR-003).
• Wrote the 20-hour sprint roadmap.

English practice

• bootstrap — первичная настройка, «раскрутка» проекта; we bootstrapped the vault.
• milestone — контрольная точка, веха; M1 is the daily-driver milestone.
• trade-off — компромисс; Lua plugins are a trade-off between power and complexity.

Next session

• Start Sprint 0: Rust toolchain, cargo project, Gitea board and CI.
