No site does as good a job of helping you choose a freeware tool for a specific task than Gizmo's Freeware (otherwise known by us old-timers as Tech Support Alert).
The site is simply unrivaled in terms of recommendations for freeware, and if you ever find yourself asking what the best free windows utility is for a given task, it's *the* site to visit.
In each well-organized category, top alternatives are reviewed, rated, and ranked, and then discussed by all -- and reviews are frequently revisited and updated, which is a rarity.
In addition, Gizmo Richards himself has also long been a friend to freeware authors, helping to shine the light on new freeware tools, and a friend to us from the early days, helping to tell people about DonationCoder and our software -- and I am extremely honored to have had some of my tools recommended on the site.
I can't think of a better site to receive the first entry in our list of our Favorite Websites.

NANY Release: Ballistic: an easy list filter
Description This program was designed to aid in making word puzzles. The authour publishes a childrens' magazine, and Ballistic helps in making custom crosswords, word searches and other word games. You can use the pre-made wordlists or even a custom wordlist, and easily filter the list to match certain criteria. It doesn't generate puzzles or games, but you can use it to find words that will fit in your puzzles. You can easily find a word that matches any pattern. I made this program for myself and have hosted it for a few people, but it has never been officially released. This is my first public mention of the program. Features •Use any wordlist (simple text files) •Comes with a collection of pre-made lists •Find-as-you-type •Reports the number of Matches •Anagrams •Permutations •Wildcard Matching •Typoglycemic matches •Export Results •Copy Results to the Clipboard •Quick List-switching menu •Quickly open the list in current text editor •Full-featured GUI with lots of options Planned Features Update the word lists Fix bugs Maybe create an installer. Screenshots Please visit the documentation page for more images Usage Installation Just extract the zip file to a folder and run the exectuable. There isn't any installer at this time. Using the Application A brief description of how a user will use the Application. What tips does a user need to get going? Uninstallation Just exit the application and delete all the files. Tips The searches are faster if you disable the progressbar. But the progressbar is fun. Known Issues Typoglycemiacize List is really slow for long lists. If you stop the typoglycemiacize process midterm it won't save. I can fix that. |
