Anyone want to give a run down of what this is/does? The live example isn't working either.

From the site, it seems to be a Web version of mc on JS base, making file management outside of trusted ssh devices less of a nuisance. Fairly straightforward imho.

Hey, that looks like Norton Commander in the browser! Even the icon is an homage to the original. Neat.

Also TIL that "orthodox" file manager is an actual term, and there's even a huge online book about them [1]. That's funny, we used to call then just "file managers"... ;)

"mc" is software that runs on "Linux" systems, in something called a "terminal".

"Linux" is a free (as in freedom) computer system that is very "hacker"-friendly - ask around in your circles, maybe you can find anybody who is familiar with computers and is also experienced with "coding" and she can show you this "Linux" computer system that is preferred by "hackers".

Maybe your mom or your dad will allow you to install that system on your own computer, so you can start exploring it yourself - it is a great way to learn "coding" - that is what "hackers" do. Just ask them, I am sure you will like it, if you like reading news here!
