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.

MAUI going to all in on Blazor Hybrid.
It's difficult to imagine. But if the rumour has any merit, perhaps it simply means that there will be a push to consolidate on some blazor tech using stuff like https://github.com/dotnet/MobileBlazorBindings
-
What are your gripes with XAML?
There's Blazor Mobile Bindings but it's essentially experimental at the moment and isn't exactly active. From playing around with it though, it is pretty neat as you get the Blazor programming model but with native controls.

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.

MAUI's potential hindered by inadequate maintainership
This is one reason I'd really love for them to push through on making alternatives to XAML like Blazor mobile bindings.
-
Is .net MAUI appropriate for a bachelor's thesis?
I'd say Blazor mobile bindings is also pretty interesting imo, unlike Hybrid it doesn't use Html and uses MAUI controls directly but still keeps the Blazor programming style and still uses razor to tie in C# and components.

Roundup of .NET MAUI. - Week of July 18, 2022
Oleksandr has been contributing to the official experiment project, and singlehandedly updated it to support .NET MAUI. He even now has documentation on his fork.

Anyone been trying out .NET MAUI?
I really hope Blazor Mobile Bindings takes off imo. I still care for native controls and if Mobile bindings does become a valid target, then you'll have an alternative to XAML when writing native components but using Razor syntax (which imo is less verbose). It'll be like how React does it (which is still pretty popular) where you have React web and also React Native which uses the platform's native controls underneath. Both aren't exactly the same but since the framework is similar (React, Blazor) it should be easy to swap between the two.

.NET MAUI Release Candidate – Ready for cross-platform app development
Yeah I really hope they'll productize Blazor Mobile Bindings (currently experimental), it's essentially using Xaml controls via Razor as the markup format instead and can use C# expressions (so less need for converters).

Blazor Mobile Bindings: Including Javascript files via <script> tag
For example, in Android there's this file: https://github.com/dotnet/MobileBlazorBindings/blob/main/templates/BlazorHybrid-app/NewApp.Android/wwwroot/index.html

Does MAUI support web somehow?
It means you can use Blazor's syntax to write MAUI apps, as an alternative to XML-like XAML syntax.

Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.

.NET on Linux: What a Contrast
Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years.
Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/

Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
For desktop, Avalonia, hands down.
https://avaloniaui.net/
Open source, powered by Skia, backed by JetBrains, and quite battle-tested at this point for small to medium-sized apps. In theory perfectly capable for enterprise as well, since it's basically a spiritual successor to WPF, which has been an industry standard for about 15 years.
They're diving into mobile and WASM well, but that's more of a recent effort and I haven't tested that yet.
