ClipFlow: Universal Clipboard & File Converter

I think I have permanently broken my mental model of the clipboard. I’m always alternating between Linux, Mac and Windows and muscle memory invariably causes me to do the wrong key combo for the OS/app I’m using. Throw in clipboard sync/history tools etc which aren’t always reliable, I regularly paste and either nothing happens or it’s a previous copy of something. It sounds like a small thing but it’s maddening and mostly my own fault.

Same frustration applies to file converters — the UX is almost universally broken. Most tools silently upload your files to S3 while showing a spinning wheel, then email you a link. The File System Access API has made it possible to do this properly in-browser now, but almost nobody uses it.
