    one-shot scripts

    I took my example task from way up above and scripted it myself, here's a GitHub link to it: https://github.com/petter-bomban/various-scripts/blob/main/Hello-Jobs.ps1

  • platform-compat

    Discontinued Roslyn analyzer that finds usages of APIs that will throw PlatformNotSupportedException on certain platforms.

    HERE they recommend MAILKIT but its not that easy to get going

  • omi

    Open Management Infrastructure (by jborean93)

    Have you considered a fork of the WSMan lib I've worked on that's distributed through the PSWSMan module. It replaces the builtin WSMan lib(s) to fix a whole bunch of problems that I've mentioned here https://github.com/jborean93/omi#changes-from-upstream-omi. It makes the Linux -> Windows connection through WSMan so much easier to use and fixes one of the fundamental problems the builtin WSMan lib has with HTTPS, no certificate verification.

  • AngleSharp

    :angel: The ultimate angle brackets parser library parsing HTML5, MathML, SVG and CSS to construct a DOM based on the official W3C specifications.

    I thought https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp was supposed to be better than agility, unless they changed.

  • AngleParse

    HTML parsing and processing tool for PowerShell.

    /u/Vortex100 there's a powershell module that wraps it named https://github.com/AsoberNet/AngleParse

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wasp

    Windows Automation Snapin for PowerShell (by mavaddat)

    Have you seen the wasp powershell module? https://github.com/mavaddat/wasp
