Fileloupe for Mac

After years of lurking on Hacker News, I figured it was time to finally contribute back. Fileloupe for Mac is a new Mac application that I've been working on for the last year. Version 1.0 was just released in the Mac App Store but Hacker News readers are welcome to download a beta version of 1.1 here: https://kennyc.s3.amazonaws.com/Fileloupe1.1-72-Beta.zip Fileloupe is a high-performance, incredibly fast file viewer that, I think, makes looking at photos, videos, PDFs and documents a lot better than the existing solutions. It doesn't replace Finder (or iPhoto /…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

After years of lurking on Hacker News, I figured it was time to finally contribute back. Fileloupe for Mac is a new Mac application that I've been working on for the last year. Version 1.0 was just released in the Mac App Store but Hacker News readers are welcome to download a beta version of 1.1 here: https://kennyc.s3.amazonaws.com/Fileloupe1.1-72-Beta.zip Fileloupe is a high-performance, incredibly fast file viewer that, I think, makes looking at photos, videos, PDFs and documents a lot better than the existing solutions. It doesn't replace Finder (or iPhoto / Lightroom), but rather sits between the two of them in my workflow. If you ever find yourself wanting to browse through the contents of a folder but a Finder window is too restrictive and launching a dozen windows in Preview or Quick Time Player doesn't make sense, then check out Fileloupe. You can find out more information here: http://www.fileloupe.com Things that might be of interest to the Hacker News community: * After working on it for a good chunk of 2014 back in Canada, I moved to Bangkok, Thailand in January to be a "digital nomad" with the goal of finishing 1.0 over here. I rented an apartment, joined a co-working space and met a bunch of other digital nomads working remotely. * It's a Mac application and I'm an indie developer (hopefully), which tends to raise a few eyebrows these days in the world of mobile apps and web based ideas. * I started my career by working in Silicon Valley on Be OS, followed by the first version of OS X and then spending most of my time on the T-Mobile Sidekick (aka: Danger Hiptop). * In 2005/2006 I left Silicon Valley and traveled overland from Barcelona, Spain to Cape Town, South Africa. I'm still trying to find my way home... If you have any questions or feedback, then please let me know. Thank you. Kenny

    This is a long-running project that started as the proverbial need to scratch my own itch and then somehow evolved into a full-time job of the past 6 years. Link: https://bvckup2.com I thought I'd do a Show HN for two reasons. 1. I obviously want to show my baby to those who haven't seen it. Its primary purpose is to do very fast file replication. If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…
