ClipClop
A Simple and Clean Clipboard Manager
ClipClop comes from a frustration that none of the available clipboard managers are exactly what I’d like.
Some are old and look dated or have networking and sharing options that make me nervous.
Others don’t keep your pinned items at the top, or don’t let you resize them or don’t remember where you want them to open or don’t follow your mouse cursor and open on the monitor you’re looking at.
So I made my own, I hope you find it useful.
- ClipClop only saves your pinned items to disk and it encrypts the shit out of them when it does.
- ClipClop has a quick search to find that thing you know you copied earlier. Just hit ‘s’ to jump to the search box and start typing.
- ClipClop it open source, free and doesn’t want you data, it stays local and encrypted so you don’t have to worry.
- ClipClop is configurable but simple. It will remember how you resized it and will open either in the same spot all the time or wherever your mouse is, you pick.
- ClipClop will keep your pinned items at the top, I can’t believe that is something we can brag about.
- ClipClop allows you to configure your own hotkey combination to open it.
- You can hit ‘escape’ to close the window if you forget why you opened it.
- Hitting ‘Clear All’ won’t delete your pined items, that wouldn’t be cool.

ShipThatCode
A simple utility to create an installer and updater for .net projects without code changes using Github to host updates.
ShipThatCode is my version of ClickOnce. It is crazy to me that all the options for creating installers for and keeping windows programs up to date are such a convoluted time consuming mess that are sometimes more work than the product itself.
Here is the use case. I have an application that runs on Windows that I want to create a simple but attractive installer for and to have it check for updates each time it launches without having to add any code to my application.
ShipThatCode builds 2 files. An installer.exe and a zip that the launcher uses to update users on older versions.
installer.exe is a sort of self extrtracting archive that will
- Extract your program to a temp folder
- Run the setup.exe which is included
- Show the user your EULA
- Ask them where they want to install
- Copy the files
- Create a proper shortcut on the desktop that points to an updater program that will look in your Github releases for the most recent version of the zip file which it will download and unzip over the local version.
This is as simple for you the developer and the end user as I can make it.
All you have to do is fill out a couple fields and click “Generate Installer / Update Zip” and it will spit out 2 files
for you to upload to a Github Release
The install process looks like this:
It uses the icon you pointed out during setup to create a nice branded shortcut on the desktop that points to the launcher file that checks for updates before launching your exe
The launcher will delete all the files previously installed except any in the config.json in the semicolon delmited string property DoNotDeleteTheseFiles
The EULA.txt file it uses is in the SetupFiles folder, you can just paste your custom EULA in there or use the default.
I hope that this helps other devs with their projects and allows them to focus on writing cool apps instad of spending ages making installers and updaters.

QuickFixMyPic
A simple utility for converting and resizing your pics
The two most common operations I run into with image files are resizing and converting. There are plenty of reasons to work on images in Gimp or Paint.Net or Photoshop but they’re not built to do simple batch operations like this quickly. QuickFixMyPic is.
You can right click on an image file or up to 16 in windows explorer to launch the program with them already queued.
You can add more to the queue by clicking browse or by going to File > Browse For File(s) or Select Folder or simple the Browse button next to the Convert To dropdown list.
When you are satified with your choices simple click Engage and your new files will appear in the same folder as the source files they are reading.
Installing
You can install by simply downloading the msi from the release page
You can download and unzip this pack and use is as portable but you won’t have the shell right click integration the installer adds
You could be all fancy and use a cli packager like the l33t haxx0r you are…
Via WinGet:
winget install FleetingClarityStudios.QuickFixMyPic
