Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Write once, run anywhere front ends failed. Thoughts?
> the first, MVP-style, attempt will be using Electron.
Good choice.
If you want to stick to HTML...WebView2 is suppose to replace it, but it assumes your backend code is .NET or C++, instead of JS/Node.js. Microsoft Teams is using it.
If you want to use native Windows UI components from JS code, then React Native for Windows is recommended. Facebook Messenger is using it.
All approaches require C# or C++ modules to be used to interact with the Windows Platform. Or there is: https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge.
The recommended approach is WinUI 3 which would involve C#/C++ and XAML.
To SwiftUI/React/JetPack are called module-view-update (MVU). There is an MVU for C# called Comet. https://github.com/dotnet/Comet#key-concepts

Clippy goes full cross-platform thanks to Avalonia UI framework
The benefit at least with the approach instead of embedding Avalonia inside Maui is you could potentially use non xaml frameworks for ui as long as they support Maui as a target. Stuff like Comet or Blazor mobile bindings would be possible aside from xaml. Especially if they're coming from Blazor web or code based ui frameworks like flutter which makes it appealing.

Hot reload with VS Code and iOS
That was using the experimental Comet extension and lib, based on .NET MAUI. You can find instructions here: https://github.com/dotnet/Comet

Is it possible to make desktop app gui's with just C#?
There are also experimental libraries for .NET MAUI, which let's you create UI only with C#: Comet, MauiReactor
-
Is .net MAUI appropriate for a bachelor's thesis?
Yeah the hybrid blazor stuff is interesting. So is https://github.com/dotnet/Comet.
- Why is xaml still a thing?
-
Minimalistic fluent api in C# to create complex reactive Avalonia applications
There is an alternative using MAUI .Net Comet
-
Cross platform gui frameworks that aren't xaml-based?
Also Comet (as a proof of concept only)

Views in Comet
Within a ShapeView you can draw shapes: Capsule, Circle, Ellipse, Path, Pill, Rectangle, and RoundedRectangle.

Managing State in Comet
Comet promotes a variation of the Model-View-Update pattern popularized by The Elm Architecture, Elmish, Fabulous and others. The major parts of MVU are:

Installing .NET MAUI on macOS
Now you are up and running with .NET MAUI for building Android, iOS, and macOS apps on macOS. This doesn't provide you with modern productivity features like C# and XAML hot reload. Those come standard with Visual Studio 2022 (and the upcoming Mac version), or you can navigate your way through configuring any number of other hot reload options available such as LiveSharp or Reloadify3000. Personally, I'll be using Comet which rides atop .NET MAUI and is built around hot reload.
