+# Mitmproxy on the Windows Store
+
+@mhils experimented with bringing mitmproxy to the Window Store using the Desktop Bridge. This would replace our current InstallBuilder setup and allow for clean installs and - more importantly - automatic updates.
+
+## Advantages
+
+ - Automatic updates
+ - Clean installs
+ - Very simple setup on our end
+ - Possibility to roll out experimental releases to a subset of users
+
+## Disadvantages
+
+ - No support for mitmproxy. That only runs under WSL. Making WSL nicer is a complementary effort.
+ - "Your developer account doesn’t have permission to submit apps converted with the Desktop Bridge at this time." (requested)
+ - New releases need to be submitted manually (Submission API is in preview).
+
+## Notes
+
+We do not want to force anyone to use this, we would of course keep our portable binaries (and, of course, WSL). \ No newline at end of file
