Microsoft has revamped the web version of its app store for Windows, which includes new UI and an improved, easier process of app discovery.

 


The previous version of the web version of the Microsoft Store was formed on Microsoft’s old React codebase built on an “obsoleted UI framework,” according to Microsoft engineer Judah Gabriel. The current version, on the other hand, has replaced React codebase with Shoelace, Lit, Vite, and a C# ASPNET backend. These have accounted for a more efficient interface, easier ways to discover apps, and modern web tech stack.
