I'm building desktopdeck.io a tool for creating setups of apps, config files and scripts to quickly install on Windows or Mac

I'm using winget for the installations so ideally it should be handled by winget without issues.

I made a desktop app for Windows that lets you find apps and add them to lists (I call them decks). I also plan to add more features such as adding config files, scripts that need to run etc.

So basically it would allow you to create setups that you can install and share via links with much less work than doing it manually as they install in the background.

To install the apps I only use winget so it's as safe as winget is. I also plan to use homebrew to achieve the same functionality for Mac.

Any feedback is welcome!

I'm working on a desktop app that lets you bundle multiple apps into a "deck" and install them all at once. You can also add custom scripts, config files to specified paths, and it handles non-interactive installs silently. Built on top of WinGet/Homebrew for Windows & Mac. Use cases: new machine setup, onboarding teammates, sharing a standard dev environment across a team. https://desktopdeck.io

When I got to the part where it said that developers chose software engineering as a job because they like to code not because they want to review or "manage" code I really felt that. But while I enjoy coding & building as solo developer on my projects I can't really say I've ever enjoyed it as a job. Or are you not supposed to like your job? Is that how the world works?
