QuickNotepad.us VS ShellNewHandler

• No installation required
  As a browser-based notepad, it can generally be opened from any device with internet access without downloading or installing software, so you can start writing straight away.
• Simple, distraction-free interface
  Online quick-notepad tools usually have a minimal layout focused on typing text, which suits fast note-taking, drafts, to-do lists and temporary snippets without a learning curve.
• Fast access for quick notes
  The 'quick' concept implies you can jot something down in seconds, with no complicated setup, formatting menus or project organization to deal with.
• Likely free to use
  Simple web notepads like this are typically free and often don't require an account, which makes them easy to try. Check the site for any current limits or paid options.
• Cross-platform availability
  Because it runs in a web browser, it should work on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices, so you don't need a separate app for each platform.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited advanced features
  Basic online notepads usually lack features such as rich formatting, tagging, folders, powerful search, collaboration, or version history, so they can be inadequate for serious note management.
• Data persistence and loss risk
  Notes in simple web notepads are often saved in browser local storage or tied to a specific URL. Clearing browser data, switching devices or a site shutdown could cause you to lose notes unless you back them up. Verify how this site stores your notes.
• Privacy and security concerns
  Notes may not be end-to-end encrypted, and the site's data handling policies may be unclear. It is best not to store passwords, financial details or other sensitive information in it.
• Requires internet connection
  Unless the site offers offline support, you will need a connection to access or save notes, which makes it less reliable than a native app when you are offline.
• Limited syncing and ecosystem integration
  It probably does not integrate with cloud services, calendars, or productivity suites, and may offer little or no automatic sync across devices, unlike tools such as Notion, Evernote, or OneNote.

• 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
