Anyway to choose to load an autosave or restore point of the same game at the menu?
You might be able to access the save files using a Switch file manager like NX-Shell.

[Jits.cc] Failed to link my switch
I recommend using a file manager like NX-Shell though since you can do all this directly from your switch without using a PC or phone. You can download it from homebrew store or https://github.com/joel16/NX-Shell/releases.

is it possible to access sd card from the switch itself?
In addition to what others have said, if you really have no other options: https://github.com/joel16/NX-Shell

Getting "failed to get update informatiom" error whenever i try to update my EmuNand to 13.1 using DayBreak. I've tried three files so far, and i'm using Mac OSX. Help! Any idea on how to fix this?
So I'll repeat my suggestion. Clean up the files using NX-Shell. Presumably you don't have a Windows PC handy or else you would have already fixed it, so there's a solution you can do right on the Switch itself.

How to unzip a file in the SD card?
NX Shell says it supports extracting zip archives - https://github.com/joel16/NX-Shell/releases

Ways to delete SD card files directly from the Switch?
Hell yeah there is bud! You've got a few options, you could use NX-Shell which is a file browser found here or can be found on the homebrew App Store, second you could use Hekate and put your system into USB mode then connect to the system with your computer via USB although it sounds like you want to avoid your PC so the first option may be best.

What are your lesser known Homebrew apps that you love that not many people know about?
uLaunch. For the life of me, I don’t understand how this doesn’t get more universal love. As of right now games load a few seconds slower than the normal menu, but I don’t even mind because the additional features are incredible. Plus, how often do you really switch games, unless you’re having the homies over it’s probably not more than once or twice a day

DArc - A Re-imagining of an Older Skin Arc
No worries mate, I'll be honest I did 99% of it by just looking at the files in a theme and editing them especially the json files because they define a lot of setting. But Xor does have a wiki for uLaunch here on github: https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/wiki/Themeing
- It is possible to add folders in the main menu?
- Are any themes with sounds?
- uLaunch on latest atmosphere crashing
- uLaunch 0.3.3 pre-release - Support update
-
Is there a way to group games like Xbox or PS3/4?
actually yeah! there's an alternative to the default Switch menu called uLaunch. I haven't tested it myself, but it does include custom folders for your games!
-
I wanted to get ulaunch but the folder, “0100000000001000” won’t let me boot into atmosphere. How could I still have the folder without crashing my switch?
According to github, ulaunch does not work on current atmosphere/fw versions https://github.com/XorTroll/uLaunch/issues/167

Is there any way to have folders for games in main menu on Atmosphere?
Take a look at uLaunch.
- Ulaunch is back with v0.3 and its beautiful
