winget.run - 📦 Finding winget packages made easy 🔍

#webdev #showdev #typescript #react

Microsoft recently released a build of their package manager winget. Winget is essentially Microsoft's new replacement for third-party package management solutions like Chocolatey that will soon be pre-installed on all Windows 10 machines

One problem however is that there is no central repository / website to search and browse packages and this is where winget.run comes into play & the fun begins.

Features

With our website, you'll never again need to browse the Windows 10 store or look through websites for exe downloads and go through the laborious installation process time and time again (assuming that what you're looking for is available on winget of course).

Package navigation

Access all of Microsoft's Windows 10 packages through a modern interface.
View the most recently added packages at a glance on our homepage - see if theres anything that interests you!
Search packages by name, organisation, or even keywords. Don't know exactly what you're looking for? - our search has you covered!
