Welcome to PoshUI v1.0.0!

We're excited to share the first official release of PoshUI with the PowerShell community!

PoshUI transforms your PowerShell scripts into professional Windows 11-style interfaces—no WPF, XAML, or C# knowledge required. Just use familiar PowerShell cmdlets to create wizards, dashboards, and workflows that your team will actually enjoy using.

📦 What's in This Release

Three Powerful Modules

🧙 PoshUI.Wizard - Step-by-step guided interfaces
Create configuration wizards, deployment tools, and setup assistants with 20+ control types, dynamic dropdowns, and real-time validation.

Wizard Example

📊 PoshUI.Dashboard - Real-time monitoring interfaces
Build beautiful card-based dashboards with live metrics, charts, and interactive ScriptCards that turn your PowerShell scripts into clickable tools.

Dashboard Example

ScriptCards turn your scripts into clickable tools:
