Project mention: Ladybird browser to start using Swift language this fall | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-10
All non-GUI .NET applications, unless they use niche things like windows registery or management API, are by definition platform agnostic and run wherever .NET runs (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD(with caveats), Android, iOS, Windows). Most business today which have moved off old version run sever workloads on Linux hosts within K8S or otherwise.
Popular applications that run on Linux are
Jellyfin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin
Sonarr (and other High Seas apps): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr
Ryujinx: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx (the kind of project that can easily match writing a browser in complexity)
Bitwarden (server): https://github.com/bitwarden
Stride3D: https://github.com/stride3d/stride
Godot (offers C# as script language, using regular .NET)
From the top of my head, I'm sure there are many others less popular. It is sad that this conversation needs to be had 8 years after the first version of .NET (Core as it was named at the time).

ShareX
ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.
Project mention: Flameshot – Powerful, yet simple to use open-source screenshot software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-11I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only.
I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked.

The open-source (MIT license) DevToys is a similar toolkit and it's available for macOS, Linux, and Windows: https://devtoys.app

Avalonia
Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most popular .NET UI client technology

WaveFunctionCollapse
Bitmap & tilemap generation from a single example with the help of ideas from quantum mechanics
Project mention: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-29I'm working on an extension to the Modify in blocks Model Synthesis algorithm [0] and the Wave Function Collapse algorithm [1] called "Punch Out Model Synthesis":
https://github.com/zzyzek/PunchOutModelSynthesis
Here's a gallery of sample outputs from the algorithm:
https://github.com/zzyzek/PunchOutModelSynthesis/blob/main/r...
I have an online demo of the algorithm in action for different tilesets (it's a little rough, so be warned):
https://zzyzek.github.io/PunchOutModelSynthesis/
The idea is you take an example image, chop it into little segments and infer tile rules depending on the overlap. It's very much old fashioned "machine learning/artificial intelligence" (that is, without any neural networks involved). There's also a demo of tile rule inference idea here:

Roslyn
The Roslyn .NET compiler provides C# and Visual Basic languages with rich code analysis APIs.
C# extension works well and uses Roslyn Language Server that is part[0] of the Roslyn (C# compiler) - this is what the base C# extension[1] uses. Both of these are licensed under MIT.
The only closed-source component is 'vsdbg' which is Visual Studio's debugger shipped as a component that the extension uses. It, however, can be replaced with Samsung's 'NetCoreDbg' by using the extension fork[2].

CleanArchitecture
Clean Architecture Solution Template: A starting point for Clean Architecture with ASP.NET Core (by ardalis)
Looking at this, it has similar aspects as ASP.NET Core, and the same flaws as the Controller per class design used. Methods such as "create", "show" and "store" do not share a state, they shouldn't share a class either.
However, you can rectify this, by just not trying to share a class with any of those. In .NET Steve Smith, aka Ardalis shows how to do this with his Clean architecture idea [1], Idea is to make a class for each endpoint. This also makes it easier for "Update" classes to share functionality with other "Update" classes and so on.

Here's another cool free trick for anyone. If you use Bitwarden they sneakily introduced a Generator for their desktop app for "Username" before it was just passwords.

ABP

QuestPDF
QuestPDF is a modern open-source .NET library for PDF document generation. Offering comprehensive layout engine powered by concise and discoverable C# Fluent API. Easily generate PDF reports, invoices, exports, etc.
PDF (Portable Document Format) is widely used to save data or send data in a portable, secure format. When it comes to manipulating data into a PDF file or designing a document like an invoice, C# developers often turn to robust libraries. Two popular Libraries for these tasks are IronPDF and QuestPDF. In this article, we'll delve into how to use QuestPDF for HTML to PDF conversion and compare its features with those of IronPDF.

To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.
-
ArchiSteamFarm
C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously.
Why should they? But be sure to use Open Source Projects like https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm or https://github.com/JonasNilson/idle_master_extended so that no funny business happens due to your account due to shady idler programs. Idler programs simply mimic what you're doing and Steam doesn't care about you actually played the game or idled the time since Playtime is IR-reversible and the more you idle, the more you can't refund the game which suits them well.

Visual Studio mainly supports the Windows operating system and there is a version for macOS users called Visual Studio for Mac. There is no version for devices running Linux operating systems hence they access similar features like Visual Studio's through Mono . Note that Microsoft will soon be terminating VS for Mac by 31st August, 2024.
NOTE:
The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars.
The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or
since we started tracking (Dec 2020).
