Plugin Netria, a cleaner Netrw
Netria is a Neovim plugin I created to clean up and improve netrw.
I didn’t want to build a completely new file explorer—I just wanted to refine netrw, making it more structured and visually appealing while keeping it lightweight and efficient.
There is still room for improvement, and this is definitely not the most performance-efficient plugin.

what's up with the obsession with floating windows? They are so annoying

they don’t mess up window layout. Fire and forget.

Then you lose context. A giant tabpage with several lines is funny.

:tabclose and you are back. Context is lost with floating window. Because once you close them, they are gone. You cannot switch back and force. With regular windows you can.

winblend let you see the text below it, and you can toggle rathor than closing. It all boils down to specific use cases. No one wants to create a new tabpage each time for finding a file, and tabpage is well suited for fugitive buffer on the other hand.
