What it does

a tool of windowssoftware in windows{intstalled software} - blackmatriXblack/softwaremenu

Websoftware is a lightweight Windows utility written in C using the Win32 API. It resides in the system notification area (tray) and provides instant access to over 50 categorized websites, dozens of system tools and folders, all installed applications discovered from the Start Menu, and power management options. The program has a minimal footprint, uses no external libraries beyond standard Windows DLLs, and is designed for rapid, out‑of‑the‑way productivity. Save the source code as websoftware.c (UTF‑8 encoding recommended). gcc -o websoftware.exe websoftware.c -lole32 -lshell32 -mwindows -O2 -mwindows : Suppresses the console window. -O2 : Optimizes for size and speed.

  • Program Explorer, a container playground2025 · programexplorer.org · ▲73

    Inspired by Compiler Explorer and other playground/fiddle websites like jsfiddle, db-fiddle, Go playground, and Rust playground, I thought it would be cool to have a playground for nearly any program so I've been working on Program Explorer: a playground for running programs from containers. I am inspired by these playgrounds because they are great educational tools for quickly experimenting and as communication tools by sharing shortlinks that reproduce bugs for instance. I would love for every open source project that publishes a container to get their own playground for free. I'm…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
