Implements a browser-based file manager for USB devices using the WebUSB API, inspired by badge-drawer.html's serial communication pattern.
Implementation
Features
Protocol Architecture
The implementation provides protocol stubs that need device-specific adaptation:
Common USB file system protocols include MTP (Android devices), MSC (standard storage), and vendor-specific implementations (MicroPython boards).
Screenshot
The interface shows connected state with file listing (directories and files with sizes), editor panel, and upload area. Demo mode button enables testing without physical devices.
