In plain words

NC Web is a file manager application that brings the classic Norton Commander interface to web browsers using vanilla JavaScript. It allows users to browse, organize, and manage files through a dual-pane layout characteristic of the original Norton Commander. The tool is designed for developers and power users who prefer keyboard-driven file management and the retro two-panel interface.
