  • I’ve been working on some projects lately that involves GUI applications for a Raspberry pi, WASM, and UWP. I’ve chosen to follow the Uno-Platform as my main go to although I am still experimenting. I didn’t have the best results initially using Avolonia UI on the raspberry pi although I haven’t dove as deep into it as I had the Uno-Platform. Uno has a very large and active development community and their documentation is up to date with the newest Microsoft products. This includes the team actively working on .Net 5, .Net6, .Net Maui, and WinUI3. They provide many samples on GitHub as well as useful examples written by supporters on their “blog” section over at Uno Platform Website

  • Avalonia

    Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most popular .NET Foundation community project.

  • I am bit biased but I would also recommend AvaloniaUI, it's what I use each day for work and for hobby projects. It is definitely worth the investment as the adoption is rapidly growing. https://avaloniaui.net/

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
