Request Apps Guidelines

Premise:
Posters frequently ask for a portable version of a certain software. Usually this is a common type of software that leaves settings or files in some part of the local PC if it is not modified.

John or one of the many frequent visitors to the forums might possibly see if that software can be modified and made portable or not.

Some guidelines:

Hello. Today I'm requesting a portable version of what I consider to be the best software for reading ebooks.

I consider it so for several reasons:
1. It's free and open source.

2. It offers a (albeit minimal) cloud storage for syncing files, notes, and reading progress.

3. It can open multiple ebook formats, including the problematic fixed epub3 format that plagues more popular ebook readers.

4. It's cross-platform: macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, and the web.

5. It receives regular updates.

6. It works perfectly.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share my project called Trayslate. Trayslate (a combination of “tray” and “translate”).

Trayslate is a lightweight tray-based translator that works with external translation services. It doesn’t include any built-in engines — instead, you can choose and fully configure the service you prefer.

The app is always available in the system tray and lets you translate text anywhere on your system — not just in the browser.

Key features:

Microsoft PowerToys

very few nice mini windows enhancer tools from the microsoft staff, like Workspaces or to ie. manage windows also on more displays (FancyZones) and many others.
other nice tools are ie. Awake, Always On Top, Color Picker, File Explorer Add-ons, File Locksmith, Image Resizer, PowerRename, PowerToys Run, Video Conference Mute, ZoomIt, Mouse Without Borders and few more.
you can easily use all the missed features in windows, i noted the most usefull and self-explanatory.
you can get full info on the apps by the links on github in 'utilities'...
