Our pattern of declared capability (in the app manifest) and runtime use (the `Request...`) apis lets the user know that an app might ask for a power, and makes it...

@Jaiganeshkumaran , can you briefly describe a hypothetical app that would get the user's lockscreen/background images, and what the app would want to do with those? You mention personalization, can...

How we _should_ have done this, knowing what we know now: * [WinUI3](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/winui/winui3/) "native frame" for the app * Hosting a [WebView2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/) for HTML/JS content * An [xlang-flavored](http://github.com/microsoft/xlang) JavaScript binding...
