Add ToDoList to the Windows Package Manager

Post by mlr-tk » Sun Feb 05, 2023 12:45 am

As a system administrator, I regularily install and reinstall apps on computers.
Most of that is done automatically via the Windows Package Manager, specifically the cli tool "winget" or a GUI tool "WingetUI" (screenshot included), which is the official repository with almost any software in it. You just type in "winget install <app-name>" or search for it in WingetUI, and it's downloaded and installed fully automatically. This method is used in Linux systems for ages, and is now getting popular on Windows, supported and promoted by Microsoft.
Winget is an official Microsoft tool, often included by default on a fresh Windows installation.
It would be helpful to have ToDoList in this repository. All other apps (like Chrome, Firefox, 7-zip, Zoom, etc.) - are already there. ToDoList is the only app that I can't install using Winget and I have to go on the website and download manually.
Also, probably more new users will stumble upon the ToDoList app while searching for apps in Winget or WingetUI, or on the web version https://winget.run, thus making it more popular. Please consider.

Thanks for the suggestion but, unfortunately, this just adds to my already considerable workload.

However, this is an open-source project so if you or anyone else cares to volunteer then maybe we can make it happen.

FYI: someone is maintaining it on chocolatey, which is also available then through the WinGetUI, so you can use that. As you can see by this link, it's not the latest version yet, but I guess that's just how it always will be with these kind of repo's especially if some volunteer is doing the maintenance.
