How to open a Cordova project in VS

The Examples We Like section featurs projects that were not necessarily created in Visual Studio--we just think they're cool. However, because they weren't developed inside VS, you can't just double-click into the project.

To open a non-VS Cordova project inside VS, go to File | New | Project From Existing Code..., and follow the import wizard.
