Recently, Microsoft introduced a new Package Manager to Windows 10 that allows users to install important applications in bulk. However, the only drawback is that the native Package manager of Windows 10 is limited to a command-line interface only.

While it’s easy to install apps from the command line, a developer has created a web app that makes things easy and fun. Mehedi Hassan’s winstall is a web app that takes advantage of the new Windows 10’s package manager to install apps in bulk.

Winstall is a useful tool that is pretty much similar to Ninite. The good thing about Winstall is that it works like a charm, and it offers a cool way to share and install your favorite Windows 10 apps.
