Did you know that with MSIX you can get auto-updating apps that you release on GitHub (without using the store) ? The trick is to use the .appinstaller file to point to releases/latest. Roam the repo and release action to see the details: github.com/dotMorten/GitHubT…

The @madskristensen File Explorer extension plus the native Visual Studio ability to see and manage TEN SEPARATE REPOSITORIES from a single UI ! ❤️ View all changes in all submodules and see current pinned commits for each. Explore the entire file system. Nice.
