[Feature Request] Take Inspiration from wingetUI like websites #209

@Satanarious

Description

Check out these websites:
winstall.app
winget.run

These websites give you the option to select 1 or more packages and then provide you with a winget-cli one-liner for the installation of those packages. Which you can copy and paste in the terminal.

They have features like:

  • Featured Packages
  • Popular Packages
  • Favourite Packages
  • Filter by Publisher (like Adobe, Microsoft, etc.)
  • Tags, as well as filter by tags (like utility, reader, etc.)
  • Featured Collections
  • Create your own collection
  • Share your collection
  • Grid View
  • Icons for many packages

The winget.run guy's github is also worth a look, he explains how he gets the data there.

How is the data obtained?

winstall is powered by an API that I have built. The API regularly checks Microsoft's official repository for Windows Package Manager apps. This means it always provides the latest data.

The API updates its data every 15 minutes on weekdays, and every 3 hours on weekends. I will be making the API open-source in the near-future.

I managed to get the json he is maintaining, here's the link to the json

Here's a peek into the json:
