Go router navigation observer
However, with the introduction of ShellRoute, observing the navigation flow in your app and having routes that are "aware" of navigation changes has become more difficult. As highlighted in this issue, when you add a ShellRoute, the app loses reactivity to route changes: the NavigationObserver is no longer triggered.

Android and Wear OS are getting a big refresh
Another "big refresh". I've already disabled animations because of the faintly ridiculous system-wide overscroll effect [0] which makes every menu and webpage bounce like the viewport is made of gelatin, so I'm a little bemused to see them doubling down on "natural, springy animations". I know this is "old man yelling at cloud" of me, but I don't care for my notifications to "subtly respond" to adjacent ones being dragged.

History of C#: versions, .NET, Unity, Blazor, and MAUI
At Microsoft Connect in December 2018, Microsoft announced that WPF became an open-source solution and be hosted on GitHub. Since then, WPF has been available under the MIT license to all developers, making it more accessible and customizable. Even so, WPF remains focused on Windows development and isn't cross-platform.

The search for easier safe systems programming
WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.

That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:
