Proposal: Guide on Real World Scenarios for PowerToys

HarinderG commented 5 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would like to create a guide titled "Boost Your Productivity with Microsoft PowerToys: Real World Scenarios" that showcases various use cases where PowerToys can streamline workflows and increase efficiency.

Motivation: While the official Microsoft PowerToys documentation provides an excellent overview of the tool's features and functions, it lacks examples of how PowerToys can be used in real world scenarios. This guide aims to help both new and existing users understand how PowerToys can benefit their specific workflows by providing practical examples.

Scenario when this would be used?

This guide would be used by both new and existing PowerToys users who want to understand how to apply the tool's features in their daily workflows. It is particularly important for users who:

Are new to PowerToys.
Work in small to medium-sized businesses, for employees that often wear multiple hats and need tools that can streamline repetitive tasks.
Seek to optimize productivity.

Love the idea - I'm curious how you imagine this experience working. Is this something you'd want...

Built into PowerToys?
Available in documentation on GitHub?
In the Microsoft Learn docs for PowerToys?

I envision this guide being available in the documentation on GitHub as a .md file. This would make it easily accessible to users browsing the PowerToys repository and looking for practical examples.

If there is a preference for integrating this guide within the repo, I'd be be happy to discuss how that would be implemented. 🙂

Sample usecase for AoT: Imagin you have a configuration wizard that you can't make being a small window because then the navigation in the app is impossible. And you have a text document with configuration notes/documentation. Then you can make the editor window with the notes small and aot to see it al the time when navigating in the configuration app that is maximized.

Great idea, @htcfreek!

I went ahead and included an example use case for AoT, using a more relatable scenario of a project manager coordinating a video conference while taking notes.

Thank you for the suggestion!
