Show HN: SSH-add helper for WSL to store passphrases in wincred

$corporate recently moved us from Linux to Windows. While I'm disappointed, I quickly setup a WSL-first approach, which actually works really well. However, I soon realized there was no keystore available in my env. `pass` is my go-to, but not everyone wants to deal with GPG setup, so I looked into alternatives for my team. Most people recommend gnome-keyring, but I’m not a fan of bloated solutions. The thing is, I already have a keystore just outside WSL: the Windows Credential Manager (wincred).

So here we are, let's welcome `winaskpass`: a Rust tool to store secrets in wincred using a C# script via powershell from WSL.
