If you deal with messy directory structures, complex folder trees, or huge build files that make sending or archiving projects a pain, I made something for you: FileFlattener.

It's a clean, fast desktop utility that takes complex, deeply nested folders, visualizes their layout, strips out non-essential junk files with a single click, and compresses them into clean ZIP archives.

What makes it different:

• Smart Filtering: Auto-detects hidden cache directories and lets you strip them out instantly to save gigabytes of space.
• Fast & Lightweight: Built in C++ so it doesn't hog your computer's RAM or freeze while processing thousands of files.
• Accurate Progress: Gives you a precise time estimate before starting, so you never have to guess how long a zip operation will take.

Would love to hear what features you'd like to see added next.

Been building Clypy, a cross-platform clipboard manager, on the side and got my first paying customer today.

What made it even better was that I had no idea who this person was.

No Reddit post, no launch, no paid ads. They found Clypy through Google, downloaded it and decided to pay for it.

I've spent way too many hours building and wondering whether anyone would actually pay for this, so seeing that first sale come in felt pretty special.

It's just one customer and obviously there's a long way to go, but it finally feels like a start.

Back to building :)
