Would it be possible to have a Maui splash screen sample?

It's on my list to figure out as well, but just haven't gotten that far just yet. I'll follow up here once I get a chance to wrap my head around it. What I've done so far is to just use a SplashPage in the main maui window, and then redirect to the shell page once loading is done - not quite a splashscreen but got the job done and worked the same on all platforms.
An alternative is to just hide the main window (minimize + hide from taskbar) using the window extensions in WinUIEx, then re-enable once splash screen is done showing.

Also thank you so much for the coffee! Much appreciated!

No problem! I also noticed I was imprecise, I was specifically going for WinUI. Well, I suppose I skip that for now and doodle around other things!

Also noticed microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#500 and dotnet/maui#3870 (comment) now. Ah, so, it's maybe the custom page until something official appears. I edited and added here for the benefit of others who may stumble here.

I think if the SplashScreen window subclass didn't expect the Window type parameter for the subsequent Window to be launched, you could easily use the approach taken here for a Maui app WinUI splash screen...

This approach immediately shows a splash screen Window in the WinUI App.xaml.cs constructor, then when app fully launches it creates and activates the main window in OnLaunched, which in Maui terms happens automatically in OnLaunched anyway, so no need to even override that?
