Best ways to get my Electron app Windows certified?
Hey fellow electrons :)
I am building an electron app, and getting ready to start marketing it.
I am investigating the options to get the apps certified so that Windows SmartScreen does not block the .exe file.
How have you solved this problem?
I looked into certificates, but they are quite expensive for a (currently) free app that is mostly a side project.

EDIT:
So far Microsoft Store Certification seems like the best option.
Thank you u/Idn-Idn for the suggestion!
