//! Example: File Explorer
//!
//! This is a fun little desktop application that lets you explore the file system.
//!
//! This example is interesting because it's mixing filesystem operations and GUI, which is typically hard for UI to do.
//! We store the state entirely in a single signal, making the explorer logic fairly easy to reason about.
