Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Elio is a terminal file manager written in Rust with a three-pane layout, rich previews for various file types including images rendered inline in supported terminals, and a focus on being a snappy, batteries-included tool. Its interesting combination of modern terminal features like zoxide integration, trash management, and extensive theming makes it a strong alternative to older file managers like ranger or lf.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, power users
