NoteLess VS ShellNewHandler

• Simplicity
  NoteLess appears to focus on a minimalist, distraction-free approach to note-taking, making it easy for users to jump in and start writing without a steep learning curve.
• Lightweight Design
  As an app with 'Less' in its name, it likely has a small footprint, fast load times, and doesn't consume excessive system resources compared to more feature-heavy note apps.
• Indie Developer Support
  Being developed by an independent developer (Ben Dansby) rather than a large corporation, users may benefit from more direct communication and responsive updates based on user feedback.
• Focused Feature Set
  By limiting features to the essentials, the app may reduce clutter and help users focus purely on writing and organizing notes without unnecessary distractions.
• Native Platform Integration
  If built specifically for Apple platforms, it likely integrates well with iOS/macOS design conventions, gestures, and system features like iCloud sync.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Feature Set
  The minimalist approach that serves as a pro can also be a con for power users who need advanced features like rich formatting, tagging systems, or complex organizational tools.
• Platform Limitations
  If the app is exclusive to Apple devices, users on Android, Windows, or Linux won't be able to access or sync their notes across all their devices.
• Small Developer Support Team
  As an app from an individual developer, there may be slower bug fixes, less frequent updates, or limited customer support compared to apps backed by larger teams or companies.
• Uncertain Long-term Viability
  Apps from independent developers can sometimes be discontinued or unsupported over time if the developer moves on to other projects, potentially leaving users without future updates.
• Limited Third-party Integrations
  The app may lack integrations with other popular productivity tools and services that users might rely on for a more connected workflow.

• 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
