var (count, setCount) = UseState(0); ...in a #WinUI app. 👀 What if building Windows apps felt like React or SwiftUI, in plain C#? That's the experiment behind Microsoft.UI.Reactor: real native controls, no XAML required, and it's all open source! devblogs.microsoft.com/ifdef…

I hate when agents steal desktop focus to do UI automation. The next winapp CLI release will add Windows Sandbox support so agents can run and automate apps while I keep working. winapp run --on sandbox winapp ui invoke button --on sandbox Would you find this useful?

This is so cool, @AlexandreChohfi is adding file based app support WITH identity to #winappcli - using a Windows API that needs identity has never been so easy, just "winapp run myfile.cs" feedback welcomed 👉 github.com/microsoft/winappC…
