What are your Microsoft Windows hidden gem apps - eviltoast

You know the drill, [M]Lemmings…

I want to share TypingMasterPro cuz it is the program that helped me learn to type 2x over (QWERTY than DVORAK)

Off you go!

    • Autohotkey
    • Powertoys
    • winget, choco and that other one
    • Faststone
    • advanced Renamer
    • croc
    • shareX
    • one photo viewer (sadly only on window store)
    • everything

    I wouldn’t consider them hidden gems for the tech savvy community, but for the general community pretty much is.

      Scoop? If so, highly recommend to fellow developers!

        Yes, scoop. I still can’t remember why I don’t like it. I might give it a try when I reinstall windows.

        I ment one photo viewer. I only like it because it’s a very minimalistic photo viewer and also the windows photo kept crashing at some point so I needed a replacement.

        I was thinking of adding it to my list but I’m trying not to download any software on a browser if I can try because I might click on one of those fake look-a-like site that give you malware like what happened to gimp with google ads a while back.

        Another reason for why I didn’t added it to my list is that it doesn’t have apps that I perfer like ungoogled chromium, brave, Librewolf, MPV, neovim, rustdesk, croc, rust, Gog, vscodium, prism launcher, signal, simplex, tor browser, yt-dlp, and Obsidian.

        Package mangers are way better for updating than using ninite so I won’t have to deel with an app just sending me to download the newest verson.

        I do like using ninite for when a friend or family asking for some help with a file so I send them a ninite with Libreoffice, VLC, and 7-Zip (but now win 11 has native support for winrar and 7z so it isn’t need for most users)

        And yes I know that ninite is very defferent from a package manager, all i’m try to say is that I would rather sepnd a little more time setting up choco then use ninite.
