Got my first 3 reviews, found a bug, and immediately hid my app. It's fixed now (100% Free).

I'm building SPAN Finder—a Miller Columns file explorer for Windows (basically, Mac's Finder but optimized for Windows).

A few days ago, I quietly published the first version on the MS Store. Surprisingly, a few organic users from Switzerland and Russia found it and actually left three 5-star reviews.

It was a great feeling for a moment, but then I caught a bug while testing. Some basic features were failing depending on the Windows environment. I didn't want my very first users dealing with a broken tool, so I just unlisted it right away.

I spent the weekend fixing the code and finally pushed a stable v1.0.12 today.

Why it's free right now:

Windows environments are diverse, and it's hard to test every edge case by myself. So I’m making the app 100% free on the MS Store for the next month to get some real-world usage data.

If you download it now, it stays linked to your MS account forever, even after I make it a paid app later.

If you use Windows and hate navigating deep folders, I'd appreciate it if you could try it out. If something breaks or doesn't work as expected, please leave an issue on my GitHub so I can fix it.
