Analysis

An editorial look at what each product does well and who it suits.

ShellNewHandler
Snagly

Overall verdict

  • ShellNewHandler is a niche, lightweight utility hosted on SourceForge designed to give users more control over the Windows 'New' context menu (the ShellNew menu). It can be considered good for its specific narrow use case, but it is an older, minimally maintained tool that may not suit all users, especially those on modern Windows versions.

Why this product is good

  • Provides direct control over customizing the Windows right-click 'New' menu, allowing users to add or remove file type entries
  • Lightweight and free, without bundled bloatware typical of some other free utilities
  • Simple and focused in scope, making it easy to understand for its specific purpose
  • Open distribution via SourceForge allows transparency and no-cost access

Recommended for

  • Power users who want to declutter or customize the Windows New context menu
  • IT administrators managing standardized desktop environments across multiple machines
  • Users comfortable with older utility-style tools and Windows registry-related tweaks
  • Not recommended for casual users seeking modern, actively supported software with regular updates

Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing ShellNewHandler and Snagly.

How would you describe the primary audience of your product?

Snagly's answer:

eBay shoppers watching a specific listing, like a console, TV, camera or laptop, who would rather wait for a better price than check the page every day.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

Snagly's answer:

Next.js, Supabase (Postgres), Vercel, the eBay Browse API, and Resend for email.

What's the story behind your product?

Snagly's answer:

I wanted to get the best eBay price before buying an item, and to tell fake discounts from real ones. So I built Snagly to record a listing's actual price over time and email me when it hits the price I'm willing to pay.

What makes your product unique?

Snagly's answer:

CamelCamelCamel and Keepa track Amazon. Snagly does the same for eBay: paste any ebay.com listing, set the price you'd pay, and get one email when it gets there. It uses eBay's official API instead of scraping.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

Snagly's answer:

Most price trackers ignore eBay or need a browser extension. Snagly works on eBay listings and runs in any browser, phone included. It sends one alert per drop instead of an email on every check, and it's free during launch for up to 25 listings, with no card required.

  • 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
