Hurl Rewrite Project

[U-C-S]

Offload operations to Launcher

• Cli args processing (but still have a fallback within Hurl.App)
• Rule Checking (or should I ?, considering that .NET regex is already superfast)
• Timed Default browser launching

Hurl Main App

• Remove SingleInstanceCore dependency (it feels slower, Launcher App already looks very promising)
• Browser Selection
  • Support layout for List form (Would it be possible to make an option to show it in Grid form or in List form? #64)
  • Possible Improvements to the Icon Fetching and Fallback Icon support
• URL Editor
  • Remove the usage of extra window to Edit URL
• Other Buttons
  • Use a dropdown to hide "Ruleset Manager", "Settings" and "Timed Default" Btns
• Explore UI Animations

What is your (latest) opinion about WinUI / WASDK?

[U-C-S]

@Jay-o-Way Sorry I haven't spent time to look at your PR. But at-most I currently want to spend some time on other projects with my little time, before coming back to hurl again. could take a few more week/s least for that. I have some other plans for this issue that I have not yet fully realized or described yet. Could be that your PR is taking bit different path from that.

What is your (latest) opinion about WinUI / WASDK?

I spent some time again messing with few days ago, I still couldn't get it working as I wanted it. Publishing into a single file or unpackaged is still one of the issues to me there despite WASDK supporting it in some power. For now, I am awaiting for the new WPF Fluent controls in .NET 9 (which are also part of preview recently)

Ok, WinAppSDK 1.6 experimental looks actually interesting

One task to add: sign the app / installer, so Windows doesn't give the user a warning

After introducing the Launcher project, I think I can just hold this off for later on, and take care of other things.

I want to start a rewrite in the first place only because during writing Hurl.RulesetManager felt I could improve a lot of things with the main app's code, this the reliability and that I had some ideas for the UI.
