Release notes, feature deep-dives, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Fewer project.
Files imported from GitHub repos or public file indexes now remember where they came from. Right-click any such node to open it in GitHub or at its source, or download crawled files directly.
Fewer 0.4.0 adds optional sign-in, saved graphs that capture your full workspace, and selective sharing — invite-only or anyone-with-the-link — while keeping saving fully user-initiated.
How we cut dead weight and lazy-loaded every dialog to make Fewer start faster and feel snappier — dead code removal, 5 dropped dependencies, and dialogs that only load when you open them.
Fewer 0.3.0 brings a structured custom theme engine with 18 presets, a draggable minimizable theme editor, and a bundle that's 300KB lighter after dead-code removal.
How we designed and implemented the Aurora Haze design system: a subtle warm atmospheric effects, motion tokens, and a refined sidebar that makes directory exploration feel alive.
How we replaced Dagre with a custom Reingold-Tilford tree layout to handle large graphs for tighter spacing, better hierarchy, async layout for smooth imports.
Meet Fewer, the open-source tool that transforms static directory trees into interactive, explorable graphs. Built with React Flow, a custom tree layout, and a privacy-first philosophy.
