I've published an experimental module called WinUIShell:
github.com/mdgrs-mei/Wi...
WinUIShell allows you to create WinUI 3 applications in PowerShell. Only a small number of UI elements are supported for now but they will be added gradually.
If you get a chance to try, let me know what you think!

Just gave this a go while troubleshooting a scrolling performance problem in WinUI3. So cool to see both .NET and .native WinUI calls in the flame graph, and I can clearly see where some of my expensive calls are and what they are doing deep inside WinUI. 10 stars!
