"Too many messy desktop files" and "Offline transfer of large files", if you have to build a tool to solve these, which has higher priority?

I've run into a few problems lately.

As mentioned in the title: "Too many messy desktop files" and "Data transfer".

I know there are many tools available (e.g., Localsend, KDE Connect, etc.), but I want to create something more unique than them.

Here are my current project ideas:

1. The Messy Desktop Files Problem

A Mac-like launcher for Windows users. Supports PowerShell command execution, global file searching, and searching for saved macros in the search bar.

(Macros save file information. Here's an example structure:)

{ name: "name to render in file list", path: "actual path (for open)", openBy: "software you want to use when opening. Default is 'default'. Depends on your system default", icon: "icon for showing in file list" }

2. The Data Transfer Problem

Checkpoint support (resume broken transfers). Encrypted transfers. Cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux/Android/iOS). Server-simulated transfer with background support. Supports text/voice messages, audio calls, and file transfers.

I'm going to use Go for the backend and TypeScript for the frontend. Maybe I'll use Wasm for complex calculation tasks.

Which problem would you solve first?

Is anyone interested in this or has similar problems?

Thanks for reading, everyone! Let me know your priority.
