Could you build this?

Partial A Rust file-explorer UI is vibe-codeable, but a fast, polished Windows version depends on native shell integration, large-directory performance, and GUI toolkit details that the assistant may not handle reliably.

What it would actually take: Start from the existing Nohrs codebase in Rust, pick a GUI toolkit (such as egui or a native Win32 binding), and build directory listing and file operations. The hard parts are Windows shell integration (context menus, icons, thumbnails) and keeping the UI responsive on very large folders, which needs profiling and async I/O expertise.
