State of .net/c# cross platform frameworks - Lemmy
lemmy.mlRecently an idea came across my mind, and that is with all the fuss around Lemmy
and fediverse in general, that i could spend my nights working on something
instead of watching random YouTube stuff. So I’ve decided i could start building
some kind of Android app, which will just be my time killer for the time being.
Just for some background info - I’m by no means considering myself a programmer,
but I do write a lot of scripts/extensions/forms for software we use at work,
which is mainly Microsoft stuff associated with .NET, so when it comes to
programming I’m most familiar with C# and the whole .NET ecosystem. Lately I’ve
also got into JS/TS with React as I wanted to create my own website. Because I
like C# as a language, i was looking into building this project in some kind of
cross platform framework. I researched and found out about MAUI, Avalonia UI and
such. As I was researching I found a lot of opinions on those frameworks, some
of which were positive and some of which were negative. The negative ones
outweigh the positive ones (bugs, broken basic features, messy workarounds,
outdated underlying platform APIs) and such. I do know that such framework
cannot be perfect because there is a lot of going on, and I would like to hear
some more opinions. So guys what are your experiences with those .NET
frameworks? How is the XAML holding up? And do you think I would be better
learning Flutter/Dart or straight up Kotlin, as the only platform I’m willing to
develop for is Android? Thanks!
