The problem
Packaging, persistence, migrations, validation, installer behaviour and repeatable releases are where a small desktop project can quickly become a large infrastructure task. The Starter Kit provides that foundation so you can focus on the application itself.
Key features
Designed as reusable infrastructure rather than a demo project you have to reverse-engineer.
Bring an existing host application into the desktop workflow instead of starting from a locked template.
Desktop-safe persistence patterns with migration support so user data survives development and releases.
Build the unpacked app, installer, application shortcuts and final distributable artifacts.
Run the checks that matter before a build is treated as a release candidate.
Repeatable workflows for validation, packaging, versioning and publishing release artifacts.
Verify the packaged application and installer rather than assuming a successful build means a working release.
