The Design Philosophy of Great Tables (Software Package)
7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Apr 2024

If anyone is looking for a great open source table, I recommend slick grid: https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid it has all the features shown in the article and has proven itself capable of everything I've needed for the last 2+ years.

Leaving it unmaintained allows for a fork to emerge.
For example, "SlickGrid" https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid was popular but hadn't seen an update in many years. Someone else forked and a number of people migrated over to https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid .
In a world where the original author instead decides to relicense and commercialize, the author suddenly has a different and much more contentious relationship with anyone who tries to keep a community fork.

I assume SlickGrid (https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid/wiki/Examples) didn't satisfy your requirements?

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System

It looks like the port was compiled with a binary SkiaSharp [0] since that requires Google tooling to build. Interesting to see the committer allowing this. Apparently it is not the first time.

System.Drawing just dosen't work

The library that I've had the best luck with is SkiaSharp with .net 3.1. That said, I agree with others that I'd update the version of .net if possible.
Open-source cross-platform C# library that encode .BMP files?
1 project | /r/csharp | 14 Mar 2023

Found this issue that basically say it's not supported in skia directly, and it's right, from this page it seems only supported on iOS/Mac. This is pretty frustrating considering the documentation of SkiaSharp Encode() doesn't mention it.

Yes, I'm not aware of any way to use either the canvas api or webgl directly. This project has bindings for the canvas API, but it hasn't been updated in two years:https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Canvas. SkiaSharp seems a nice option too: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp. It supports graphics across a whole load of platforms, including Blazor on the web.
What library should I use to make basic 2D graphics which is simple to use and that is able to quickly draw a bunch of particles (circles) on the screen with updating positions every frame? (Not the best description ever. I explain it better in the post's text)
