I am thinking of creating a Chrome extension to browse the zen-fs file system in a visual way, just like Finder

[rxliuli]

It's just an idea. Currently, there is no intuitive way to browse the file structure. Perhaps an extension that adds an extra panel in the developer tools would be helpful. My question is, if this extension is created, can we modify @zen-fs/core to achieve zero-configuration usage? Because right now, zen-fs does not expose any global variables, like __zenfs__ or similar.

Hi @rxliuli! At the moment, the closest thing we have is the playground. I would love to see an extension though! While ZenFS doesn't expose any globals at the moment, I can certainly add one. __zenfs__ seem appropriate since the global isn't meant to be used.

Edit: See 8c1ed21.

@rxliuli While this is really cool, my only concern is that uses may think it is official (especially due to the logo usage). I'd really appreciate if you could clarify that it is not official to prevent confusion. Thanks! Also, I can't wait to see this available for Firefox!
