Last week I posted Edge-Drop, my open source clipboard manager for Windows, and received a lot of thoughtful feedback.

Instead of moving straight to new features, I spent the last several days improving the things people pointed out and redesigning one of the parts I wasn't completely happy with: the Preview Flyout.

The biggest improvements include:

  • One-click paste directly from text, images, and file previews
  • Drag clipboard items into an open Preview Flyout to merge stacks
  • Better layouts for PDFs, ZIPs, folders, and other single-file previews
  • Rich image previews instead of generic file icons
  • Smoother hover behavior and cleaner animations

I also rebuilt the multi-monitor system after realizing the original implementation wasn't robust enough.

That update now includes:

  • Full multi-display support
  • Real-time System Tray synchronization
  • Automatic recovery when displays are connected or disconnected
  • Animation controls for users who prefer less visual overhead

The previous release also focused heavily on security, adding Windows DPAPI encryption for clipboard history along with several hardening improvements.

One thing I've learned while building this project is that the hardest part isn't adding features. It's making dozens of small interactions feel natural enough that people stop thinking about them.

If you saw my last post, I'd love to know whether these changes move the project in the right direction.

If you're seeing Edge-Drop for the first time, what would you expect from a clipboard manager that Windows doesn't already provide?

Developer I built Quven, a Windows desktop app and self-hosted server for movie and TV libraries

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Domenico, a software engineer from Italy. I've worked in software development for more than ten years, and for the past 18 months I've been building Quven during evenings and weekends.

On Windows, Quven comes as one installer containing both the self-hosted media server and the desktop client. You point it at your movie, TV and documentary folders, then browse and play the library through a proper desktop application rather than a web wrapper.

The client uses direct play when Windows can handle the original file and transcodes only when necessary. It also supports GPU-accelerated HDR-to-SDR tone mapping, multiple files for the same title, audio and subtitle selection, and image-based subtitles. Quven never modifies the original media files.

The Windows bundle is free for home use, including hardware transcoding and self-managed remote access. The paid boundary is infrastructure that costs me money to operate, mainly the optional managed relay and hosted web client.

Quven is closed-source. The installer is currently distributed directly from the website rather than through the Microsoft Store, and it is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will display a warning. The download page explains this clearly before installation.

It supports Windows 10 version 1809 or later and Windows 11. The Founders window is also open for the first 100 eligible accounts: Pro is included at no cost through 31 December 2026, with no payment card required today.

Download and details:

If anyone tries it, I'm particularly interested in honest feedback about the Windows installation, first-run experience and desktop playback.

Thank you all!
