win11React Add our own apps

can you make a feature where you can select an app icon from your computer, a title and a link and on the home screen it will show up a shortcut and when you click it, it will act like an app from the Microsoft store. exept it only shows on your computer and not anyone else, nor does it need to be accepted. I want this because i want to add in a VSCode server i have (because it better than the one in the microsoft store) and if i was to just suggest that then people can see my files which i really dont want. so in conclusion can you make a feature where you can make your own apps on the desktop.

I think this is a great idea. Maybe we should add a local cache (if we don't already have one), for features like this.

Actually you can add your own app locally

open the console and run these lines

var installed = localStorage.getItem('installed') || '[]'
installed = JSON.parse(installed)
installed.push({
  "name": "Smash karts",
  "icon": "https://api.web.gamepix.com/assets/img/250/250/icon/smash-karts.png",
  "type": "app",
  "data": {
    "type": "IFrame",
    "url": "https://smashkarts.io"
  },
  "pwa": true
})

localStorage.setItem('installed', JSON.stringify(installed))

Here I added an App called SmashKart, you can add your own by changing the name, icon and url.

After running the script and refresh. Then head over to start menu and all apps and scroll to the app.

Wouldn't be nice to have this as a feature to make it easier for non-programmers?
