I greatly appreciate your hard work! I'm wondering if there's a way to utilize the BurntToast Preview function in an "alarm" context. My goal is to establish a notification system that reaches every user, irrespective of their current focus assist settings.

I would love trying out an Add-BTProgressBar function in the next preview of v.1 that approximates the functionality provided by v.0.8.5

$ProgressBar1 = New-BTProgressBar -Status 'Starting...' -Value 0
$ProgressBar1.Status.BindingName = 'ProgressInfo'
$ProgressBar1.Title = 'HorizontalBarText'

$Binding1 = New-BTBinding -Children  $ProgressBar1
$Visual1 = New-BTVisual -BindingGeneric $Binding1
$Content1 = New-BTContent -Visual $Visual1 -Duration Long

Submit-BTNotification -Content $Content1 -UniqueIdentifier 'MyApp' -DataBinding @{
  ProgressInfo      = ''
  HorizontalBarText = ''
}

$n = 25
for ($i = 1; $i -le $n; $i++) {
  $null = Update-BTNotification -UniqueIdentifier 'MyApp'-DataBinding @{
    0                 = $i/$n
    ProgressInfo      = "Processing page $i"
    HorizontalBarText = "<$i>"
  }
  Start-Sleep 0.2
}

Anything else related to the current state of v1

@Windos I've been quietly watching the project for a while now and I realized I really needed a notification popup for something I'm working on today. It seems you (somewhat) recently removed the bit about v1 from the README. What's going on? Has the project been abandoned?

[Windos]

Hey @God-damnit-all, things are still progressing... just much slower than I'd like.

That v1 notice I removed is because I ended up deciding against doing a full re-write of the module so v1 isn't going to be as large of a breaking change as it was originally looking like. This meant having a big banner warning people that if they upgrade to v1 it'll break all their existing scripts wasn't warranted any more.
