## Sustainability & The Microsoft Store 💰
FluentFlyout is and always will be free and open-source. You can download the latest builds from the [Releases](https://github.com/unchihugo/FluentFlyout/releases/latest) tab or compile the project yourself to access the full feature set without restrictions.
Maintaining a project of this scale takes time and effort. To support ongoing development, the Microsoft Store version offers a convenient way to install the app and includes a few optional features unlockable via a small payment (€2.99, varies by region).
- **Microsoft Store version:** provides automatic background updates and one-click installation. A small set of features is unlocked with a one-time purchase to help fund development.
- **GitHub version:** Completely free, fully featured, and open-source. The only trade-off is that updates and installation must be done manually.
Thank you for your support and understanding!
