Tommy Williams@khalidabuhakmeh I think we're supposed to use Comet for that now: https://github.com/dotnet/Comet
bitbonk@twwilliams @khalidabuhakmeh The future of Comet might not look too bright because Clancey left for Meta.
Adam Cook@khalidabuhakmeh I am going to have to spend some time this weekend diving back into MAUI - check out the situation.
I tried about six (6) months ago and it was pretty rough.
Come to think of it, I wonder how #WinUI3 is doing these days…
I am eager to get over to something better on Windows than my hacky WPF fork.
@adamjcook try out @avaloniaui with Rider. It's great!
@khalidabuhakmeh @avaloniaui It’s a good suggestion, but I gave Avalonia a shot in the past (with Rider!)… but my CAD/simulation apps need DirectX 11/12 support.
So, I would have to (probably heavily) customize the backend on Avalonia and probably make some other significant modifications.
I got something going in WPF (somewhat) easier.
@adamjcook @avaloniaui might be worth asking the team to see what they can do for you.
@khalidabuhakmeh @avaloniaui True. I thought that I saw an open issue at the time on their repo… but I do not know the current status…
Maybe time to re-roll up my sleeves! 😅
Jake Carpenter 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@khalidabuhakmeh I get piled on by ".NET is the only way" developers every time, but MS frameworks for UI always miss the mark.
Touting "ground-breaking" developer-QoL features that almost every JS framework has had for years while sticking with the same tired XAML or Razor templates.
Blazor, Xamarin, MAUI...use them if you want. As someone who went elsewhere, I'm underwhelmed by all.
I'll be interested to see if MS teams abandon their use of React Native in the coming years.
