⚠️ Developer Note

Educational Purpose Only

This project was created as my first WinUI 3 application, without external guides. It uses many anti-patterns, is poorly designed, and difficult to navigate. It will not be supported or maintained. Consider this a maximum anti-pattern example—use at your own risk!
