Sir or Ma'am,

I had a catastrophic fail on Windows resulting in a fully reset 
operating system recently. I looked for some "newer" option for 
installations and there was an option called winget in powershell 7, and 
likely earlier(You can disable powershell 2, uninstall the microsoft 
store powershell 5 and just use powershell 7 and winget - 
https://winstall.app/ ). It's amazing. I installed all the software I 
could through winget, and I have found software dependencies update 
through winget easily(including dependencies from software installed by 
Steam).

However, I also found that very little Bible software is using winget 
which is why I'm requesting this. There's BPBible, which requires 
additions separately downloaded through a web browser and Logos 9. Other 
than than, there's nothing Bible there. There's not even Bible memory apps.
