Show HN: NeatShift – Organize Windows files with symbolic links

Hi HN,

I built a lightweight Windows tool to organize files by relocating them while maintaining their accessibility through symbolic links.

The idea came from needing to tidy up my cluttered file system without breaking file paths used by other applications. NeatShift solves this by automating symbolic link creation whenever files or folders are moved.

Key Features:

- Relocate files without breaking existing references.

- Automatic system restore points for added safety.

- Modern Windows 11-style UI with drag-and-drop support.

- Manage and validate symbolic links easily.

It’s free, open source, and still evolving, so I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or contributions!
