Project mention: Does anyone use F# for cross platform desktop app development? What framework do you use? | reddit.com/r/fsharp | 2023-01-29
In .Net MAUI (and Xamarin) and Avalonia, XAML is optional. You can do it all in code and it's pretty ergonomic, with some very light wrappers needed from time to time. For Avalonia, see https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/3931 https://topanswers.xyz/fsharp?q=1012 TextBlock.

lively
Free and open-source software that allows users to set animated desktop wallpapers and screensavers.
So I know there are some software out there that allow people to get animated wallpapers but they come at a cost. So I decided to look around to see if there are alternatives, there are. Not even alternatives, better than the pay versions. So first off get Lively Wallpaper. It is free and open source. Install it and it comes with a few built in wallpapers, select whatever you want and you can right click on them and "customize" some of them but not all can be customized.

ScreenTask

Also audio does not seem to be a part of screencast. It was asked in 2021, and has not been commented on in github. Maybe I missed something there.

I never came across that one but was referring to this
-
hass-workstation-service
Provide useful sensors and services from your workstation to Home Assistant.
Project mention: what automation that you did that make your life easy | reddit.com/r/homeautomation | 2022-12-13I'm using hass workstation service. The last release included my PR to make a sensor showing what programs are using your microphone. It's now deprecated, but still the only windows program that says WHAT is using the microphone. So my automation runs when that sensor string includes "Teams.exe" or "zoom.exe"

Project mention: What is the max amount of google minis you have had play music from Spotify at once? | reddit.com/r/googlehome | 2023-01-15
I know its not the workaround you might be looking for, but something you could use until you figure it out. Just install https://github.com/SamDel/ChromeCast-Desktop-Audio-Streamer on your computer, and then open the spotify app, or navigate to the webapp. From here you can play your music and your desktop audio will cast to your speaker group without stuttering. Keep in mind all audio from the computer will play on the speaker group, with a delay, so you'll want to turn down the speakers on your computer to zero. Good luck

Project mention: What is currently a good way to provide an installer for WPF application? | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-10-01
A few months ago I experimented with Clowd.Squirrel (https://github.com/clowd/Clowd.Squirrel) and it's really nice and easy to use. Unfortunately I had to disable delta packages because windows defender slowed down the update process of delta packages tremendously.
