WPF VS Flutter

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.

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:

Gear up, folks, and test drive this fresh-off-the-lab feature. And should you stumble upon any glitches along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Got a bug to report or feedback to give? Send them directly to our dotnet/wpf repository. We’re eager to hear from you, because together, we’re only going to make the experience even better!

I did some research and did not find any proof of the EOL on WPF. In fact, Microsoft just updated the roadmap on WPF 2 months ago.

There’s still room for improvement though. I should add, WPF on .NET Core consumes a lot of memory, due to a memory leak. It was logged by our COO as one of our users was doing a comparison.

have you tried this?

WPF: Licencia MIT.

Flutter : Obviously 😂

With the app market projected to reach over $500 billion by 2025, integrating AI isn't just advantageous—it's essential for staying competitive. Whether you're building a mobile app for education, a web platform for e-commerce, or an enterprise tool for data analysis, AI can accelerate development cycles, reduce costs, and enhance functionality. However, effectiveness depends on context: the app's purpose, your team's expertise, and scalability requirements. As we navigate this topic, remember that the "best" tool often involves combining several for optimal results.

There are more than 10 built-in ways to find the widgets. On this article Only the most reliable and used will be shown, but, if you want to see all of them, check them here.

To add to this mess, Flutter officially discontinued flutter_markdown due to limited resources. Here’s the issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/162960

Cross-platform development means writing code once and running it on multiple platforms like iOS and Android. This reduces time, cost, and effort compared to developing separate apps for each platform. Developers use frameworks to simplify this process, and two of the most popular are Flutter and React Native.

Install Flutter SDK from flutter.dev.

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.
