I built a Norton Commander clone in Go for my dev ecosystem — and I'm looking for a maintainer

Some tools you build because you need them. Some tools you build because they need to exist. ForgeCommander is both. What it is A terminal UI file manager and editor, built in Go with tview and Chroma for syntax highlighting. If you ever used Norton Commander, Total Commander, or Midnight Commander - you already know the feeling. File tree on the left, editor on the right, everything keyboard-driven. SAA-style. Fast. No mouse required. ForgeCommander v2026.3.28 F2 Save Ctrl+C Quit editing: main.go Written in Go. No Electron. No framework. Starts instantly. Why it exists I'm building the Forge 4D ecosystem: a declarative UI language (SML), a compiled language (SMS → LLVM → native ARM), and a runtime (ForgeRunner in C++/Godot). The files at the center of everything are .sml, .sms, and .md. Books, apps, UI layouts, CMS pages - all of it is text. I needed an editor that: Feels like home (Commander-style, keyboard-first) Understands the file types I work with Can reach into a remote Codeber
