BacklogBox VS ShellNewHandler

• Centralized backlog
  Based on what I know of BacklogBox (I can't browse the site live), it keeps your to-watch, to-read, to-play and to-listen items in one place instead of scattered across notes, bookmarks and separate apps.
• Simple, focused concept
  A backlog-focused tool tends to have a small feature set and a short learning curve. That makes it quick to start adding items and checking them off without much setup.
• Helps reduce decision fatigue
  A single list of saved media makes it easier to decide what to consume next, and to see how large your backlog is and how much you've finished.
• Cross-category organization
  Handling several media types (games, movies, shows, books) in one app is more convenient than using a separate tracker for each.
• Low barrier to entry
  Lightweight web-based trackers like this are usually easy to access from any device and often have a free tier or low pricing. Check the site for current pricing and platform availability.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited feature depth
  A simple tracker may lack the advanced features of dedicated apps such as Letterboxd, Goodreads, Backloggd or Trakt. These include detailed reviews, social features, deep statistics and large community databases.
• Smaller ecosystem and community
  A lesser-known product likely has fewer users, so there are fewer community lists, recommendations, integrations and third-party resources.
• Possible integration gaps
  It may not sync with platforms such as Steam, PlayStation, Netflix or Kindle, or offer robust import and export. That could mean manually entering or migrating items.
• Platform and offline limitations
  Smaller services may not have polished native mobile apps or full offline support, which can be inconvenient when you want to update your list on the go.
• Long-term reliability uncertainty
  Smaller independent products carry more risk around ongoing development, support and data portability. Verify the current features, pricing and export options on the official website before committing.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
