Features Guide (Thx to Lasitha Samarasighe):
About Commander (Scripts Engine):
Commander built to help anyone to create unlimited scripts for different purposes using GUI elements
The script structure is very simple.
You can mix between commander codes and batch script (Telnet required) to get more advanced usage
I tried to add commands as much as I can to make it more usable.
Commander can be used like Automate.
Checkout the documentation with the installation file for more details and demos.

In your cloud repo you can add any random file and rename it in this way:
github#username#reponame#latest

This file will appear like any other files with fine name and when the user click on download
the file will be fetched from GitHub directly.

this file will be encrypted and can be used with the app directly to browse the files

Cool, I love these features. But I tried the version from official website. When I install the cert in TrustedPeople and even in TrustedRootCA, the appxbundle installer was always complain about untrusted package. That's strange.

Hi,
If you need to backup app data in Packages manager sorry this option is not available yet.
You can copy the data manually from:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages
but if you are looking for backup the W.U.T app data, at the bottom in the Settings page there is 'Save' Icon to backup all the app data (Except Settings).

Microsoft Store Search (Originally by StoreDev & Media Explorer)
UWP FFU Downloader (Originally by Empyreal96) [Mobile] based on ->SoReFetch
Direct Links (Check in-app help page)
Direct Links
This feature also will help to avoid the cache system (any URL not only GitHub)
Files will be directly fetched from the link instead of cloud storage
How to use it?
The only thing you have to do is to rename the file to specific name:
