Show DEV: Facad. The ls alternative making terminals cooler than GUIs

Facad isn't just a pretty face – it's a powerful ls alternative that brings both style and functionality to your terminal. Key features:

  • Intuitive file type representation with emojis
  • Smart sorting: directories first, then by extension
  • Four-column layout for quick directory analysis

Facad accelerates file system navigation, slashing time on routine CLI operations.
