The Fullscreen Chromium (cefsharp) based Web-Browser ignores optionally user input like Mouse clicks, and is optionally always in the foreground (Force-Top-Most), so it can be used for any situation.
Project mention: Forget MAUI; Get TUI! - C#'s best cross platform console UI toolkit ships first 2.0 alpha package (Terminal.Gui) | /r/csharp | 2023-06-07
ReactiveUI is based on Rx and very popular in the .Net world: https://www.reactiveui.net/.

Project mention: Ask HN: Any way to write a simple desktop app anymore? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22Windows Forms[0] is still alive and will never die, and very low overhead to start with, and works on new and shiny .NET 8.
If Linux or macOS, you can use AvaloniaUI[1] instead which is sufficiently advanced but assumes some prior knowledge.

Project mention: AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03But I think some of this stuff is already handled in Avalonia ecosystem like https://github.com/Mapsui/Mapsui, https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/LiveCharts2 and few others...
There's a pinned issue on the github page about the state of mpv.net development from January 2023 where the dev says that they started working on a cross-platform successor of mpv.net instead.
BizHawk is a premier emulator for generating Tool Assisted Speedruns and written in C#.
Project mention: HandBrake 1.7.0 – The open source video transcoder | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19Its literally a feature of all the underlying encoders. And you can do it even with exotic ffmpeg/vapoursynth filter chains. So I can't imagine why.
TBH I would just recommend Staxrip if you are on Windows: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip
There is a linux equivalent, I can't remember what its called.
Or maybe some av1an GUI for Mac/Linux. All of these things support a target file size with many more features.
Another thing you can do is use a Steam tag management system like Depressurizer to automatically tag games with their approximate HLTB time (eg. 1-5 hours could be a category, 6-10 hours could be another category), then on Steam Deck you can use the Tab Master plugin for Decky to show each HLTB categories as a separate tab. There are probably other ways to display the categories as well.
