Description

The redesigned RNTester shows what tests are platform specific and allows filtering. It doesn't know about Windows or Windows custom example pages, and shows them as supporting both Android and iOS if we don't specify a platform.

This is fairly low priority, but we could either fork or try to make this more extensible upstream if we cared about this functionality working correctly on Windows.

Research direction
Check the RNTester source code in the react native windows repo for platform filtering logic. The issue mentions that without a platform specification, Windows tests show as supporting both Android and iOS. Look for the component that renders platform badges and add a Windows identifier. Consider the maintainer's suggestion to make it extensible upstream. Possibly modify files like RNTesterPlatformFilter.js or similar.
