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.

They have been created by developers who pledged to release a new game to celebrate the beginning of the new year.

I decided to list all applications that were released this year. Each app is listed with its name and a short description that informs you about what it has to offer. It helps you get a quick overview of all programs released this year.

 

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. To download one of the products visit the competitions website that I linked to in the first paragraph.

    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 :)
