Community Voice & Feedback
Hey Product Hunt! I've long wanted to have more control over which files open where. In my blog drafts folder, I want my Markdown files to open in nvUltra, in my documentation folders I want them to open in VS Code. When I double click an image file, I want to be offered a menu of Preview, Affinity, and Acorn. So I built a tool to do that. I hope you enjoy it!
