/ CHANGELOG.
Every asset ships with a .sha256 checksum.
farman is named after Henri Farman, a pioneering aviator of the biplane era.
Its author lives in Tokorozawa, Saitama — home to Japan's first airfield (1911) and known as the birthplace of Japanese aviation. The aircraft that made the field's first flights was a Farman biplane — the very machine that inspired the app's icon.
Pilot your files the way you'd work the controls — entirely from the keyboard.
