Slant is a filebrowser made using Flare. It's lightning fast, practical, and easy to use.
Navigation
Navigating around is easy. Simply click a folder to view its contents, and use the < and > buttons on the top left to go back and forward. The ^ button moves up a directory. If something's in an awkward directory, you can just type in the path-bar and press enter to go there.
Context menus
Folders and files have useful context menus.

Many things work like they do in windows explorer, for example renaming a file. Rather than making some bloated box pop up in your face, it simply lets you type in the place of the file name and press enter to confirm.
Running files
You can run files right from the filebrowser:

You can even edit files and paint them from here.
Some more screenies:

(note that the emulated computer uses a CC program I wrote that supports windows of multiple sizes, which is how I resized it, and I test everything using 101x35 computer)
Other features
- Any size screen support (it even resizes, so you can use it in windowed OSs like LyqydOS).
- Copy/paste of files and folders.
- Renaming and deleting files and folders.
- Browsing history.
- Address bar.
- Running files with arguments just like a shell can.
Being developed with Flare, there are two versions below. The first (default build) installs Flare automatically and works just fine. The second (inclusive build) has Flare embedded in it, so is completely standalone, but takes up a fair bit more space and is minified.
Default Build: pastebin get P4au2MPM Slant
Inclusive Build: pastebin get Mv8mUEAa Slant
What's to come?
Custom file types (so custom icons and file descriptions), custom "New" context-menu entries, custom "Open with" entries, and multiple sorting options (ascending, descending, sort by size, etc).
I'd love to know anything else that you think would make this any better. It's the first release, and it's kind of lacking features, so feedback is greatly appreciated. Have fun browsing your files :P/>
