converttoacme VS MudBlazor

I wrote Word Writer for Commodore 64. Creating the spelling checker was quite the task. I got a PC with enough RAM for a large RamDisk, managed to write an analysis tool that quantified all 2, 3, and 4 letter pairs in the dictionary. This was encoded into 5 bit words, (no uppercase), serialized, and as it streamed alphabetically thru the dictionary, each entry kept the leading letter from the prior one. It worked, after a lot of debugging.

I've made the source code to Word Writer open source. Please encourage your programmer friends to open source off copyright works. The software industry is very eager to claim copyright protection, but generally fails to deliver that literary work to the public as copyright is intended.

Also - a lot of old software is trapped in tooling that isn't available. In my case that was the 2500AD cross assembler. So I wrote another tool (also open source https://github.com/jefflomax/converttoacme) that converts the software from the 2500AD format to the wonderful, modern, open ACME cross assembler. That's the reason WHY you can download WW6, open it in VSCode, add a few free extensions, assemble it, and shoot it right into the fantastic VICE Commodore Emulator and see it run.

OH, and if you think the spelling checker was difficult - think about the Thesaurus and 55K words packed onto a 174MB disc! That thing had a host of different word sizes being streamed thru.

Hope you enjoy this, feel free to ping.

P.S. I have a source listing of Partner 64, but it's on fan fold paper, no media. I'd love to know a good way to OCR it without destroying the fanfold listing...

I don't think that new Identity pages will work with MudBlazor out of the box. Take a look at this GitHub issue: https://github.com/MudBlazor/MudBlazor/issues/7805

The Blazor Server application uses the open source component MudBlazor, which I recommend to C# oriented developers. To keep the application simple, all data is stored in JSON files.

You could use Mudblazor and Codebeam Mud extensions.

Look up some Blazor UI / Component Libraries.Awesome-Blazor lists the more popular ones. The two I recommend are Mudblazor and Havit Blazor because the documentation is built using Blazor and the repos are open source on GitHub.

and you can use mudblazor components for free. https://mudblazor.com/

I'm creating a Blazor MAUI project using MudBlazor, and I'm looking for a way to refresh a page on Android using the pull to refresh feature. By now the best result I've found is to surround all the with a tag as shown here but this would mean refreshing the whole content on the page, NavMenu included. I've also tried to implement the BcdLib/PullComponent: with this one I can refresh only the body of the page but I can't achieve a smooth refresh animation like in the first method.

The load times and lighthouse score for the MUD Blazor site has put me off of Blazor entirely for anything public facing:
