Description

Hi! I want to create a filebrowser type app with electron.js (basically a git client). Has anyone made an osx / windows looking file grid, or know where to get one?

If others need it I will build it and add to the repo.

Research direction
The issue is a feature request for a file browser component in the react desktop library. The ask is vague and the contributor offers to build it only if others need it. A maintainer should clarify the requirements and confirm if the component is desired. If pursued, the contributor should explore existing UI patterns in the library (e.g., components in src/) and design a file grid that matches macOS and Windows styles. The functionality would need to interface with the file system via Electron's APIs. No current work is in progress, so the issue is available for a newcomer, but the scope must be defined first.
