MicroStore - a UWP app for direct installing apps from MS Store

MicroStore is a "Fluent Store" clone via porting some parts of .Net5 onto oldest base (15063). This project started initially as a nighits/weekend project of mine to better understand MS Store "System". =)

Screenshots

The goals for this project were simple:

• Learn the inner workings of MS Store "entity"
• Start to structure my code to match atomaric tasks as possible
• Write the code in a way that made it readable and easier to understand for someone wanting to learn as I was
• Use .Net Standard & Microsoft COmmunity Toolkit to make the app more "modular(able)"

Contribute!

There's still a TON of things missing from this proof-of-concept (MVP) and areas of improvement which I just haven't had the time to get to yet.

• Performance Improvements (async., toast...)
• Additional Package work (installer mode setting, downloader, etc.)
• Media Support: home icons, etc. (for the brave)

Architecture

• Main project: MicroStore
• Other projects are api, MVVM/Flurl decomiled libs

Maybe, in future I 'll add some tech DOCs which explains miscellaneous functionality... =)

With best wishes,
