MD Explorer / BATCH_002

Protocol_Brief

Challenge

I needed a tool that could quickly index and display my project notes without the clutter of a full IDE.

Solution

A lightweight, 3-panel documentation explorer focused on speed and deep-linking.

“As I wrote more documentation, I found standard file explorers lacking. I built MD Explorer to learn Flutter's desktop-first development and state management with Riverpod. It features a custom 3-panel layout that makes navigating complex project docs much easier, teaching me about responsive UI design across different form factors.”

Designed a responsive 3-panel layout from scratch for optimal desktop reading.
Experimented with Riverpod to manage complex UI state and file system navigation.
Integrated custom Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting for better readability.
Learned to handle local file system watchers and directory indexing in Dart.
