Donation Coder Nany Challenge


More than twenty applications have been released at the N.A.N.Y. Challenge website of donation coders. New Applications for a New Year is a collection of more than 20 freeware applications that do all kinds of useful things. I decided to list every application that was released and write a short paragraph about them to give you the perfect overview of everything that is available.

As you can see below this is a huge list of applications that have been created and I’m sure that you will find some that could be useful for you. Most are very specialized but still worth a look.

      Greetings to all ghackers (is that a term?)
      This was our attempt to have fun and welcome in the new year – we’re always looking for fun little program ideas. If you have an idea for a utility you’d like to see implemented as freeware, please feel free to stop by the Coding Snacks section of our forum and post a request. Mention that you are from ghacks for a 500% discount on the normal price of zero :)
