A production-ready framework for building Windows 10 UWP apps with navigation, dependency injection, and MVVM patterns.
Template 10 is a framework for building Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications that provides essential infrastructure for app development. It solves common challenges in UWP development by offering built-in solutions for navigation, dependency injection, and application lifecycle management. The framework helps developers follow best practices while reducing boilerplate code.
Windows developers building UWP applications for Windows 10 who want a structured framework with production-ready patterns. It's particularly useful for teams needing consistent architecture across multiple UWP projects.
Developers choose Template 10 because it provides battle-tested patterns specifically designed for UWP development, eliminating common pain points while maintaining compatibility with Microsoft's platform guidelines. It accelerates development by providing ready-to-use infrastructure components.
Making Windows 10 apps great again

Streamlines app initialization and lifecycle handling, reducing boilerplate code for UWP startup, as highlighted in the key features.
Provides structured navigation patterns and state persistence, essential for complex UWP apps with multiple pages, ensuring smooth user experiences.
Includes an IoC container for managing service dependencies, promoting clean MVVM architecture and simplifying component communication.
Encourages a view-model-first approach, helping developers follow best practices for maintainable and testable code in UWP projects.
UWP is being deprecated in favor of WinUI 3 and .NET MAUI, making Template 10 less future-proof for new Windows app development.
Currently unlisted in Nuget, as noted in the README, indicating potential maintenance issues and difficulties in dependency management.
Being tied to UWP, it lacks the vibrant community and tools available for newer frameworks, limiting third-party integrations and updates.
