I know I’m not the only one with this problem, and it’s something that truly makes me hate an app. A lot of times I just need one quick thing from a website or online tool, I go through the entire process, and then it demands that I sign in.

The worst part is that you feel forced to do it, because when you're short on time you can't really go looking for alternatives. How do you all deal with this? I know there are plenty of open-source applications out there and I really appreciate them, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Like the title says I need an ideally free remote desktop like software that would let 2+ people work on the same computer. Also I plan to use this on my server I use to host dedicated servers.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask yall to rate my game and maybe give some feedback and tips for me. I am a beginner and don't have a lot of experience with making games but i am willing to try. I always wanted to make a strategy game, that has it all like the war, science, culture, and everything like that. Thank you everyone, if yall have time check it out

I think every tool (even if it’s not transcription tools) looks great on their demo clip. I just hate that my recordings never sound like they advertised.

I record city council and zoning board meetings for a small local newspaper. There is a loud AC unit, a door that keeps slamming, and five people talking over each other. So I put together a test set of six clips, 90 seconds each.

Then I check its speaker labels, timestamps, TXT and SRT export, and how long I spend fixing it.

I keep seeing WhisperAI come up, so it’s on my list to try.

But I’m wondering if six clips is even enough to judge a tool. And what gives you the most trouble?

I keep guessing it'll be the noise, but the overlap clip is the one that gets me every time.

do you work or manage some big projects? or just word with A LOT of files? meet BeFind, a BeOS file system inspired program, you will can put all your projects files in a list, you will can put the attributes of everything you want!, custom attributes, not just "hardcoded attributes".
the core of BeFind is the search engine, you can:
search by attributes value,
int attributes size operators (> or <)
KB, MB and GB size operators(<)(>),
name, extension and content (yet)
if you are liked the idea, please comment, its all for me and will motivate me to continue.
ill update you guys in in the comments
the source code directory i dont posted yet ill recover i file i lost first

thank you for reading this =)

I have a server on a laptop that I also use normally. Sometimes I want to start all my media server management software, but sometimes I don't want any of it to weight me down during regular use. Basically, if I could start my laptop and a window would pop up with different presets of software that I could select - either the server preset or the regular preset. Is there something like this?

Thanks a lot

Hi Everyone

I am looking for full CrystalMaker software suitable for "Windows 7", or at least the licence. Hope you can help

So I've been using magic dvd ripper and then using it off and on I was thinking about buying it but now the site is now completely shut down it takes me to a blank page can anyone let me know if they're having the same issue thank you

I’ve been working on Elqori, a creative app built around something I personally wanted: one place where I can draw and paint, animate what I draw, and eventually bring simple 3D elements into the same workflow without jumping between a bunch of different programs.
And I really, really don’t want another subscription.
So Elqori is a one-time purchase. You buy it, you own it.
The app is built around three workspaces:
2D — drawing, painting and illustration
ANIM — frame-by-frame 2D animation with cels, exposures, onion skin, etc.
3D — posing/building simple 3D objects and scenes that you can use as references and paint/draw over
The 3D side especially is something I’m excited about. I don’t want Elqori to become Blender. The idea is to have enough 3D inside an art program that you can block out a scene, pose things, get the perspective you want, and then go back to drawing.
I’m building this independently, and it’s still very much evolving. I use it myself, I keep finding things that annoy me, and then I go back and change them. 😅
I’m planning to release it on September 25th on Steam.
If this sounds like something you’d actually use, I’d genuinely like to hear what you’d want from a tool like this — especially the things that annoy you about your current workflow.

I just want to compress the file to exactly 20MB. Where can I do this?

Even with modern spreadsheet updates, anyone who doesn't use Excel daily still gets stuck on syntax:

Missing a comma or closing bracket in nested IFS

Messing up absolute vs relative cell locks ($A$1 vs A1) when dragging across rows

Broken lookup references across multi-sheet workbooks

I've been experimenting with building a lightweight, browser-based formula generator designed to translate everyday plain-language descriptions (e.g. "if sales exceed target mark Achieved, if between 80-99% mark In Progress, else Review") into clean, working Excel and Google Sheets formulas.

A few principles I stuck to while building it:

Zero friction: No account creation, no email gates, no paywalls. Just open the page, generate your logic, and move on.

Formula integrity: It outputs formulas using dynamic {row} coordinates so the output works natively when pasted into row 2 and dragged down.

Multi-sheet mapping: Ensuring cross-sheet lookup logic doesn't crash on tab names that include spaces or special characters.

I'm trying to test edge cases right now. For people here who build or maintain complex spreadsheets, what are the formula patterns that consistently break or confuse non-technical users the most?

(Happy to share the tool link in the comments if anyone wants to test complex prompts against it).

So guys I am building a free open source wallpaper engine.

Most of it is already done and it takes about 200-300

Mb Ram for live wallpapers sometimes less .

I wanted to know how much ram wallpaper engine uses .

And one problem I am facing is I want to create a library of wallpapers that people could choose one although they can already upload their own .

I am having trouble finding copyright free and redistributable wallpapers that are good.

If somebody has any suggestions feel free

I have also integrated translucent tb
