🏗️ Current Technology

DevGearBox is currently built as a Windows Forms application for simplicity and rapid development.
However, we are planning to migrate to WPF to unlock better design, responsiveness, and a more modern user experience.

🛠️ Looking for Contributors!
If you're experienced (or interested!) in WPF development, we'd love your help bringing DevGearBox to the next level.
Feel free to open an issue, start a discussion, or submit a pull request!
