    🎨 An app to detect color palettes in the real world - powered by VisionCamera

    It’s important to note that all of the biggest drawbacks have already been tackled with updates really. One of the biggest is thanks to the use of JSI (like JNI in Java programming) in the libraries that uses C++ instead of the single threaded “JS Bridge” (for periodic communication between the JS code and native layer), thus you now finally get- “mutli threading” and “native performance”. The first talk of the conference by Marc Rousavi goes through it, and here's his GitHub repo of a React Native app using JSI that detects "colorwaves (swatches/palettes)" from a camera in real-time by scanning each frame:

  • Introducing .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI)

    .NET MAUI is the .NET Multi-platform App UI, a framework for building native device applications spanning mobile, tablet, and desktop.

    Mobile application development is moving super fast for all the UI frameworks. The winner will really be who ever is able to sustain a true community, just like Firebase has been killing all other mobile NoSQL backend solutions. So far Google has been doing it extremely well with Flutter v2.2. In my opinion, unless Microsoft forces its teams to use MAUI/Xamarin like Facebook did with React Native, it risks getting "Silverlighted" eventually.
