  1. Roslyn

  3. csharpier

    CSharpier is an opinionated code formatter for c#.

    Since you mention great CLI - is there a CLI tool that is free/cross platform that works like prettier ? I found https://csharpier.com/ but have never heard of anyone using it.

    Also not sure how it works with linters like roslynator or stylecop ?

  4. StyleCopAnalyzers

    An implementation of StyleCop rules using the .NET Compiler Platform

    I think there are also a lot of default rules which aren't enforced until they're bumped up in severity in the .editorconfig.

    Also it can hook into roslyn analyzers, so if you want a more opinionated analyzer then stylecop analyzers ( https://github.com/DotNetAnalyzers/StyleCopAnalyzers) would be an option, although I haven't used it myself for a long time.

  5. MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  6. subtitleedit

    the subtitle editor :)

  7. Jellyfin

    The Free Software Media System - Server Backend & API

  8. Avalonia

    Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The future of .NET UI

  9. AppSignal

    AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

  12. Files

    A modern file manager that helps users organize their files and folders.

  13. ScreenToGif

    🎬 ScreenToGif allows you to record a selected area of your screen, edit and save it as a gif or video.

  14. DevToys

    A Swiss Army knife for developers.

  15. ImageGlass

    🏞 A fast, open-source, modern image viewer for 90+ formats – including WEBP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, JXL, HEIC and more – built for smooth browsing across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  16. ShareX

    ShareX is a free and open-source application that enables users to capture or record any area of their screen with a single keystroke. It also supports uploading images, text, and various file types to a wide range of destinations.

  17. Duplicati

  18. OpenRA

    Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.

  19. CsWin32

    A source generator to add a user-defined set of Win32 P/Invoke methods and supporting types to a C# project.

    Interestingly, the Rust windows crate is generated from an MSIL assembly. And same metadata might be used to generate C# bindings thanks to cswin32 [1] project. The meta-assembly generation (Win32 metadata project) is based on clangsharp and it's fairly straightforward to generate interop code for native Windows libraries. Some time ago I described this process on my blog for the detours library [2]

  23. Carter

    Carter is framework that is a thin layer of extension methods and functionality over ASP.NET Core allowing code to be more explicit and most importantly more enjoyable.

    I adore minimal API and when paired with Carter it’s just gorgeous.

    My current absolute favorite is .NET Aspire. Build distributed applications with an OTEL support dashboard - up and running in minutes.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/aspire/whats-new/do...

    Only gap in Aspire is deployment (k8s) tooling which is on the way.
