Why does Windows still make dragging files between apps feel this annoying?
by•
I got tired of dragging files around, Alt+Tabbing between windows, and dumping temporary stuff on the desktop just so I could use it somewhere else.
So I built Pouchy — grab a file, shake your mouse, and a little shelf appears.
Park it there → switch apps → drag it back out wherever you need it.
It started as that one interaction and somehow turned into:
• shelves
• quick actions
• screenshots
• clipboard history
• themes
• Explorer integration
• a tiny mascot
I’m launching it on Product Hunt tomorrow and would love some feedback before it goes live.
Does the “shake → park → drop” idea immediately make sense to you?
And what would you use something like this for?
