forming-typeform VS Blazorise

I built a Typeform clone, using Vanilla CSS and NextJS, in its GitHub repo, I also added PR GitHub actions check for eslint and prettier, and also added pre-commit checks. I also got 29 stars and 6 forks on that repo - https://github.com/hsnice16/forming-typeform/tree/main

Another project that I built was a component library using HTML and CSS, so I built this to learn HTML and CSS in a better way. Its repo also has 6 forks and 7 stars - https://github.com/hsnice16/PoshUI-Documentation

I made a Blazor component library for one of my personal projects that failed, but the component library lived on as an open-source project called Blazorise [1].

In late 2019, I got a well-paid job in a large local company because of the project reference. Unfortunately, COVID happened, and I lost that same job after a few months. So again, because of Blazorise, I got several other gigs as a freelancer.

But after a while, it was hard to do all the work on the projects and do freelance jobs at the same time. Not to mention that family time was also very limited.

So I decided to commercially license Blazorise to companies, and keep it free for individuals. Hopefully, the decision paid off. Today I run a small company and continue to work on Blazorise full time. We're still fully bootstraped without any external funds.

https://blazorise.com is fully done on Blazor. Also the support forum https://blazorise.com/support

Da, vidi https://blazorise.com/

I am working on form that run dynamic sql query in database and populates the results in datagrid. I don't know how many columns will return by the query. So I populate my resuts in DataTable, but unable to display on datagrid. Relevant issue [Feature] Full featured work with DataTable in DataGrid · Issue #701 · Megabit/Blazorise (github.com) . Does anyone know workaround for this.

Making Blazor run on Linux was a lot of hard work. Mainly because there is no official support from Microsoft (but even that doesn't always help, as you will see in the next section about macOS). I tried to make it work with 3 different community driven projects: Electron.NET, Chromely and Photino. Electron is very bloated and very slow - it takes for ever to start debugging from Visual Studio. I also hated that it first opens a console window and then the Blazor window. I don't want to see 2 windows open. Chromely also first opens a console window and then the Blazor window. I couldn't make it work in Linux. That leaves Photino. It comes with a Blazor sample that works in Linux without a problem. But my project didn't work in Linux with Photino. I found out that the problem was loading content for https://github.com/Megabit/Blazorise from the \wwwroot\_content folder. I sumbitted a GitHub issue and the problem was fixed in Photino.Blazor v2.5.0

I did something similar with Blazorise, a personal project of mine, https://blazorise.com/. It started as a hobby project. After some time it grew too large that it took most of my time, not to mention the time I could spend with my wife and son. Things changed during the Covid when I was laid off. Then I started freelancing for a while, and last year I finally took a big step and went full-time with Blazorise. Switched to dual licensing, where larger enterprises must purchase a commercial license. It is working, and hopefully, it will continue to work. Or otherwise, my wife will rage on me :/

My guess is that they're using component libraries (like Blazorise) rather than write components themselves.
