Publish Desktop App on Winget

[AlexMohanMD]

Hi,

Could the desktop app be published on winget/chocolatey so that I can run update scripts slightly more easily?

Do you have any experience with how much work that is / how easy it is to automate that?

There is a windows tool called wingetcreate which I'm using to generate an example yaml file. after that it could be built into a github action and submitted like that I think, you'd only need to change the hash and version as a variable.

MS docs are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/manifest?tabs=minschema%2Cversion-example

I'll update this with the yaml file once I've finished using the tool.

Here's the example PR that the tool creates microsoft/winget-pkgs#82621
