Hi!

Decided to make a VS Code extension with pinch-to-zoom navigation for files explorer.

I got this UX idea recently when I had to browse files more than usual and felt the pain: why do I need to click through every level when I want to drill down to the bottom?

I made a web demo (link in bio), but it's not enough, I want others to battle test it, so decided to make a VS Code extension, where I've got this idea.

It feels so natural.

Hi!

I got this idea recently when I had to browse files (in IDE) more than usual and felt the pain: why do I need to click through every level when I want to drill down to the bottom?

So I made a quick interactive prototype — it feels surprisingly natural.

Sharing it as a (draft) UX idea, not as a finished implementation.

Does it make sense to you?

If you know an app that would benefit from it — let me know please, I'll try to pitch it to them.
