Creator of Rufus outlines the problems with Microsoft's UWP

• Rufus

  548 26,835 8.7 C

  The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

(The ISO mode approach causes a lot of problems for modern Linux distros, because they nearly all ship hybrid images that natively work fine on USB, and Rufus breaks them. There are warnings about this on several distro wikis. Unfortunately, Rufus recommends using ISO mode even when it detects a hybrid image, and the developer insists that this is the distros' problem.)

  Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development

  

But that screenshot is of one of my Sciter demos, so, yes - it is doable in principle without UWP (Sciter is not using UWP).

  14 319 4.6 C++

  A lightweight modern C++11 library for Win32 API, using lambdas to handle Windows messages.

There's a low level wrapper, and on top of the wrapper there's a new API to use native controls and create custom windows (the gui module). It was based on WinLamb, which is a C++ lib.

  Azure Command-Line Interface

  

I always feel like Azure gives you like 95% of a solution to your problem, but is always missing a critical feature or usability nicety you'd really like. For example, I've been working with Azure Key Vault. I'd like to list what's in my Key Vault. Great, I thought, I'll use az keyvault certificate list. Turns out that only returns the first 25 results AND there's no way to list more without using the API directly... I had to write my own tool to solve that and a couple other usability issues.
