I built this because I was tired of having to manually assemble .gitignore files from multiple sources or digging through bloated templates.GitLost is a smart .gitignore generator: - Lets you select by language, framework, OS, IDE - Auto-detects from package.json or requirements.txt - You can preview, copy, or download the file directlyIt's open source: https://github.com/BytexGrid/gitlost ...

Hi HN, I've been developing NeatShift, a Windows application designed to help users organize their files and folders seamlessly using symbolic links. The aim is to declutter storage without disrupting file accessibility.

Key Features:

Smart Moving: Relocate files while NeatShift creates symbolic links to maintain system functionality.

Safety Measures: Options for quick backups with NeatSaves and system restore points to ensure data integrity.

Integrated File Explorer: Modern interface with drag-and-drop support, customizable views, and both light and dark themes.

Link Management: Easily view and manage all symbolic links in one place.

I initiated this project to address the challenges of managing large files on limited SSD storage, ensuring that moving files doesn't break application dependencies. NeatShift is open-source (GPL-3.0 license), and I'm actively seeking feedback and contributors to enhance its functionality.

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
