Which sample are you requesting a feature to be added to?
All of them!

Describe the feature
It would be really helpful to have C++/WinRT versions of all 240 samples. ATM only 17 C++/WinRT samples exist!

I am only one person with a day job. If you could prioritize the samples you want converted, that would help. Because there's no point for me to spend a weekend converting the FilePickerContracts sample if nobody cares about it.

Yikes, Raymond! I had no idea that this repository was maintained by you alone, in your spare time. What would be most helpful to me is a book, "Programming Windows with C++/WinRT and the Windows App SDK". You probably don't have time to tackle that, but would it be possible to create a graduated set of samples beginning with the standard app generated as the default when one creates a WinUI 3 desktop application and culminating with a reasonably complicated app. I've worked through the first 7 chapters of Petzold's Programming Windows 6th ed, converting all of the examples to C++/WinRT, so I'd be happy to contribute these examples. I am well aware that I'm still a beginner, so you'd probably have to edit my code. Perhaps you might get a few laughs.
