Show HN: Portable Giant File Viewer

  As an alternative, on Windows I've always been using Far Manager [1], it supports viewing files of arbitrary size without loading them in RAM. Supports encodings, search, doesn't explode on binary files, etc.

    Everything that is viewed is loaded in RAM or am I wrong? Perhaps it can load partial file? This looks like midnight commander.

  The linked page appears to be down, I get an "Access to this site has been restricted" error.

  As AI is hot recently, there is also some AI in this tool -- the app icon is made using AI.

  What about the colors? Dark mode? Is that hard-coded or adjustable?

    Dark mode will be available in a week. The colors are hard-coded currently, but I can make it adjustable.
