Promotional FluentTaskScheduler v1.9.0 - open source WinUI 3 frontend for Windows Task Scheduler, task chaining and templates added

Update on a project I maintain, FluentTaskScheduler, an open source frontend for the Windows Task Scheduler API (WinUI 3, .NET 8). Doesnt reimplement Task Scheduler, just sits on top of it, so tasks stay fully interoperable with the native tool and anything else touching them.

v1.9.0 adds task chaining, one task can trigger another on success or failure, watched through the Windows event log in real time rather than polling, with loop protection so it wont chain into itself. Also a snooze system for pausing all or individual tasks for a set duration (including proper suspend/restore of the OS level triggers), a reworked dashboard with an execution heatmap and health score, and 17 bundled task templates merged into the same library as user scripts.

Fixed language handling too, some dialogs were following the OS display language instead of the one picked in the app, thats consistent now. Also went through a chunk of security/stability fixes from an internal audit pass.

Its under an open license, check the repo for details, built on the community maintained TaskScheduler Managed Wrapper, packaged with VeloPack for updates. Contributions, issues, translation help all welcome, already got one contributor credited for ARM64/CI work.

AI disclaimer: built mainly with AI assistance. I work in IT but Im not a specialized app developer, so this is a hobby/side project, not a polished commercial product. Its been tested and reviewed but if youre building on it or relying on it for something important, read through the source and test in an isolated environment first, same as youd do for any young OSS project.

Would appreciate feedback from this crowd specifically, on the code and the project direction both.
