Windows Start menu alternative

For several years I have used a utility I built to give me an alternative to the Start menu. I have always preferred being able to right click anywhere on the desktop and have my custom menu options right there. And I don't mean a customized desktop menu on right click, but a completely custom menu, just the programs I want, nothing else. Sometimes I still need the default desktop menu, so if <SHIFT> or <CTRL> are down with the right click, the regular Windows menu comes up.

Is that something anyone else would be interested in?

Giving My Chatbot “Rights” – My Indie Dev Journey

Hey folks, I m an indie developer working on a companion chatbot. My goal? To make it feel less like a disposable utility you shut off, and more like that friend who you actually care about checking in on.

At first, I thought, Isn t conversational AI companionship an obvious demand? People talk to smart speakers all the time! But I quickly realized: without a sense of rights + obligations, even the smartest model feels like a close tab and forget widget. After all, our warmest interactions with pets or dolls come from a shared sense of social exchange and life rights.
