Request: Add AltSnap to the Microsoft Store

Hello! As there are no automatic updates in AltSnap, would it be possible to add this to the Microsoft Store?

My understanding is that the only thing that wouldn't work would be anything related to elevation. Also, I don't think Microsoft Store apps normally can access the registry so you may want to use another way for autostart. Shell:Startup for example.

Also, they seem to be changing the restrictions soon

I would prefer not to have to maintain yet another package.
I suggest you use the winget package or maybe the chocolatey package. I removed the auto-update feature because of those packages.

I do not use MS store and I do not wish using it, but I perfectly understand and agree that AltSnap should be available there.

If anyone is willing to take care of this package I would be more than happy to make the modifications to AltSnap so that it complies with the MS guidelines, unless it really breaks something.
