The open source SD file manager angle needs more thinking to be done. I can see the overall route but sharing files is very near and dear to people. This needs to be valued heavily. The virtual keyboard is a legit aspect as well. More

This is just a browser for the Homebrew on 3DS, so if you're looking for ways to create homebrew things, then this probably isn't it. If you're looking to utilize homebrew, than this is fine, if you want to create it, then you'll want something else. More
by Margaret Washington
One of the other comments got something right at least. This is the best browser for utilizing homebrew apps. His mistake, however, is assuming that everyone who goes to this page are looking solely for directions on how to create homebrew apps. More
