ShadowExplorerX by xElessaway

ShadowExplorerX upgrades ugly, plain directory listings (Apache, Nginx, Python http.server, Caddy, and local file servers) into an ultra-modern, cyberpunk developer workspace with instant search, dual view modes, and in-browser code editing.

Tired of navigating default server index pages that look like they were built in 1995? ShadowExplorerX detects directory listings automatically and instantly renders an interactive, high-productivity dashboard right inside your browser tab without altering the underlying files.

• Zero Data Collection & 100% Private: Runs entirely client-side in your browser. No telemetry, no analytics, no external servers, and zero data leaves your machine.
• Instant Real-Time Search: Sub-millisecond fuzzy filtering across all files and folders as you type.
• Integrated Code Viewer & Editor: View and edit source code (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, JSON, Rust, Go, SQL, Shell, Markdown, and more) directly in-tab with syntax highlighting, line numbers, one-click copy, and download.
• Flexible Grid & List Views: Seamlessly switch between a high-density Detailed List View and an interactive Card Grid View.
• Smart Sorting: Instantly sort by filename, file size, modification date, or file type.
• Bespoke File Taxonomy: Rich, color-coded icon families and badges for dozens of modern programming languages and asset formats.
• Directory Bookmarks: Star frequently visited directories and servers for fast one-click access.
• One-Click Raw Toggle: Switch back to the server's raw, unstyled HTML page anytime using the top bar action or the minimal popup toggle.

Run any local server in a terminal:
python -m http.server 8080 or npx serve
Navigate to http://localhost:8080 — ShadowExplorerX will automatically launch the enhanced sandbox interface.
