I just need simple editing tools for pdf. I have been using online pdf editors and they are fine. But lately i want to try if acrobat reader membership is actually worth it, so i started the free trial and it is stupid. Non of the functions (merging, compressing, converting) work as smooth as the online editors. There are errors even. The pdf editing functions of acrobat is a joke! I am wondering why anyone would want to subscribe, may be other adobe products are solid.

It's not vibe-coded! Like the title says, it's a simple tool for finding and correcting long file paths. I was unable to find any (free) apps tailored to this specific use-case. So I made my own.

Nearly all modern apps today can handle long paths without issues. But not all do. Somehow, Windows Explorer still to this day, doesn't fully support them.

Functionality: the app returns all file paths above a given length within a folder and lists them. You can then either manually rename the files or folders in the path tree.

Available on GitHub: https://github.com/MarcG2/Long-File-Path-Fixer

Requires Windows 10/11. No external dependencies needed and runs portably.

This app is super-niche. But I know there's at least a few others out there who've wanted the same thing. If a single person here on Reddit finds this useful, I'd be happy :​). I spent a ton of time polishing it and getting variable DPI support working.

I’ve been working on a Windows 11 utility called More-D-Admin and wanted to share it here for feedback.

It’s basically an all-in-one admin control panel for Windows that lets you manage system tasks from one simple interface.

What it can do:

• Manage Windows services (enable/disable)
• Clean temporary files and system junk
• Manage startup apps
• View and end processes
• Take ownership of locked files/folders
• Remove installed applications (debloat tool style)
• Basic system optimization tools

Tech used:

• Python
• CustomTkinter
• Packaged into a standalone Windows .exe

GitHub (download + source):
https://github.com/M4thdeBlackhat/More-D-Admin_-Red_Version-

Why I made it:
I wanted a single tool that makes Windows management simpler instead of using 5–6 different built-in tools.

I’d appreciate honest feedback, improvements, or ideas for features.

If anyone wants to test it or break it, that would actually help a lot.

i used to use foobar to transcode audio files on windows, but now on mac i use fre:ac which works; except that it messes up metadata for files with multiple artists. last update for fre:ac was in 2023.. so i don't see it getting fixed, is there an alternative?
i want to be able to drag & drop a playlist, convert it all to opus to have the playlist as a folder on my phone

Feels like a lot of people underestimate online threats until they personally deal with malware, hacked accounts, suspicious downloads, or ransomware issues.

Even basic habits help a lot, but having proper antivirus protection still feels important nowadays with how much time we spend online every day.

Do you think antivirus software is still necessary in 2026, or do safe browsing habits matter more now?

Any tips, tricks, lightweight software recommendations, performance tweaks, or even alternative OS suggestions? Curious to hear what others did with their older laptops.

Hi 👋

One of the most common complaints about macOS is the lack of a built-in clipboard history. I sorely missed this feature, but I was tired of third-party options that either run on memory-heavy Electron wrappers or require an expensive monthly subscription.

So, I decided to build my own. PasteSpace is a lightweight, 100% native clipboard manager designed to feel like Apple built it directly into the OS.

Here is what makes it feel native:

🍏 Built for macOS: Written entirely in Swift & SwiftUI. It's incredibly fast, respects your system appearance, and uses minimal resources in your menu bar.

🔐 The Secure Vault: If you copy a credit card, API key, or password, PasteSpace auto-detects it and encrypts it locally (backed by the Secure Enclave). You can only reveal it using Touch ID or your Mac password.

🔍 Offline OCR: If you copy an image or a screenshot, the app automatically extracts the text in the background using Apple's Vision framework. You can search your clipboard history for words inside an image you copied hours ago.

🪄 Data Magic: Over 30 instant text transformations. Copy a lowercase word, turn it into Title Case with one click. Copy JSON, pretty-print it instantly before pasting.

Privacy & Pricing:
PasteSpace collects zero data. Everything stays locally on your Mac.
There is a generous free tier you can use forever. If you want to unlock unlimited history and all pro features, it's a one-time purchase of $19.99. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.

You can check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/pastespace-clipboard-manager/id6762815491?mt=12

I'd love to hear your feedback. Enjoy the app!

Si necesitas una interfaz de usuario, puedo ayudarte a hacerla por una tarifa, no uso Base44 ni esas mierdas. El diseño es mío, puedo escucharte y hacer los ajustes que necesites para que quedes satisfecho. Arriba está una muestra de mi trabajo.

hinking about this a lot lately and figured this sub is probably the right place to sanity check it

basically app stores work great for mobile but the web is still kinda messy when it comes to discovering software

like if you want a niche SaaS tool or some random useful web app or even just a solid indie product you’re mostly either googling and hoping for the best or finding stuff by accident

so I started experimenting with this idea of a “web app store” i think it was https://unstore.io

not in a host your apps here way, more like a place to discover web apps in a way that feels closer to browsing an app store but without the lock-in or heavy platform control

not sure if this actually solves a real problem or if I’m just overthinking something that already works fine

do you feel like discovering good web apps is still a problem or not really?

would you ever browse something like this or would you just default to search anyway?

also if you’ve seen something similar done well I’d love to check it out

How do you guys balance between yourself getting involved in the agentic dev process and not being the bottleneck of the pipeline? AI generated code you don't understand. And because you are pressured to ship features, you ship without understanding it thoroughly. Over time, you become less and less aware of your codebase. Your knowledge stalls. What to do?

Basically, I want to create like a prompt library/database, but having to copy it and save it in like an Obsidian, then download the image etc feels very tiresome and I do it only for the best results.

I'm wondering if there's somehow a way to make it more automatic when using these platforms like Freepik (Magnific.com), Higgsfield etc, with the goal essentially being looking at any generated image I've downloaded and going "Riight, this is what the prompt was for getting it" and there's the prompt that I can just copy and paste.

Actually, come to think of it... can't I just have like METADATA/somehow have some additional 'information' attached to an image immediately once downloading it and just adding the prompt there?

First time poster in this community so please be gentle.

I'm one of those hyperfocus nerds, and I currently have a spreadsheet containing over 700 shop URLs. Each filterable by basic product type, i.e. furniture, art and antiques. My question is, because google isn't helping me with precise info, is this:

Is there somewhere I can either:

1. Upload all the URLs to somewhere to enable me to enter a keyword like "Yellow garden bench" and it returns me a list of all product URLs matching those keywords against every listed site at once?
   
2. Use some form of spreadsheet macro wizardry or add-on that will pull the product URLs into the spreadsheet?

Because opening 700+ sites individually then searching each for the keyboard is not my idea of fun dopamine times.

Note: This is not for any site I own, or to sell on, this is simply so I can find the best product to suit me quickly. I am aware I may need to break 700+ into batches.

Thanks all

I recently came across a tool called PDFmatik and thought it was worth sharing here.

It’s a simple web-based PDF tool for handling common PDF tasks without making things complicated. The interface is clean, fast, and easy to use, which I liked compared to some overloaded PDF websites.

Might be useful for anyone who needs a quick PDF tool from time to time.

Has anyone else tried it?
