Happy Birthday nnn – a fast and minimal terminal file manager

3 years ago I started looking for an efficient and reasonably featured terminal file manager for a Pi model B. I forked noice and started developing nnn on my desktop. It turned out the tool works well on the desktop too! That's how nnn https://github.com/jarun/nnn became a generic file manager.

Before nnn there were 3 popular and established file managers ranging from 25 to 10 yrs in age. All of them are great but didn't suit my preferences for visual/feature minimalism. While nnn is just 3 years in age, it is widely available and there are at least 4 nice terminal file managers which got influenced by it. And after 2 years of lone development now we have a small and efficient team!

We try to keep the tool bug-free. We have closed 317 issues so far with 0 outstanding!

The best way to celebrate the day was to make a release and we already had several features implemented.
