About The Project

WinWidgets makes web-based desktop widgets easy to develop. Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript create your own Windows 11 widgets on the fly.

This is what makes this project interesting:

  • 🧰 Focus on creating your widgets with all the usual web tools to your disposal
  • 👆 Develop complex widgets using a high-level programming language (JS)
  • 🖱️ Develop your widgets from anywhere then simply drag and drop to easily port it over
  • ⌨️ Have better control over your widget's window with built-in front-end tags

Development

Simply fork or clone the project then open the solution file. Go ahead and build then run the Software. If you want to make your own installers for distribution: There is a script called SETUP.iss to help package the Software as an installer.

  • Visual Studio Community 2022 (or equivalent)
  • InnoSetup (Optional - for generating the installer)

Note: I will not accept installer files. Make your PRs and I will personally compile it for distribution.
