The anticipation of knowing what’s coming, but not being able to talk about it, isn’t a feeling I’m used to.
We’ve typically shared stuff early. That’s not the case anymore. Things are secretly cooking over here, and the kitchen smells gooooooood.

I have a 1970s Fiat 500. It’s the perfect car for where I live (Italy).
The fun I have driving this is infinitely greater than any enjoyment I’d get from a modern car.

I’m trying not to read too much into it, but the selective nature of it, makes it very easy to jump to some unflattering conclusions.

The dotnet subreddit is truly a joke. The mods don’t respond to repeated attempts to clarify this.
The last few weeks have seen countless self-promoted posts remain up.
I posted our 12.1 release, and naturally, it’s removed.
There is zero consistency in their moderation.

I just picked up my new car!
A classic, 1970s Fiat 500.
The perfect ride for driving around the tiny Italian streets.

You've been banned for persistent bad-faith engagements with the team.
This will be our last communication with you.

TreeDataGrid was almost exclusively developed by Steven (88% of all LOCs).
If we look at all @AvaloniaUI staff contributions, they account for 92.1% of the code.
Yes, you contributed some code, but let's not pretend you were the driving force behind this component.

The first commit to our MAUI backend was in Sept.
We announced at .NET Conf as planned from the outset.

I wanted to see how difficult it would be to update MonoDevelop to use Avalonia.
Turns out, it's easier than I imagined!
Hugely boosted by using @Actipro, NetCoreDbg, and the existing code we've written for Accelerate.

I've been building an AI chess coach using @AvaloniaUI, powered by @OpenRouter.
I can swap between different LLMs for gameplay and coaching advice, and it's already helping me improve!

Last night, a few of the European team met in Bologna for dinner. I’m constantly amazed at how we’ve assembled such an incredible team.
I’m hoping that we can get the entire team together next year.

SQLite is a challenge for sure, but that’s a generalised .NET WASM issue.
You should* be able to run Avalonia on NET10 though. Maybe double check your workloads have been updated.

Flying home today from a hugely successful week in China.
We’ve closed significant new deals that will solidify @AvaloniaUI as the future of .NET UI.
I also attended .NET Conf China, which was the best community-run event I’ve ever attended.

My least favourite type of thread of Reddit.
The zealots act like FOSS maintainers are buying a second super yacht, while the reality is that an inflatable dingy would probably cost more than most projects get from GitHub donations.

I spent a few hours on Sunday playing with some ideas for a mobile focused navigation control for @AvaloniaUI
The navigation control supports Cupertino, & Material inspired transitions, a drag to pop gesture, deep linking and more.
It really wasn’t that complex to write.

Meet Oscar, named after the McLaren driver!
We adopted him (and his brother) a few weeks ago and he quickly claimed my arms as his favourite place to sleep.
I think it’s probably time to start shopping for a cat papoose 😂

I rarely use this platform anymore, but yesterday's layoffs compelled me to log back in.
To the talented developers affected: we're building something different at @AvaloniaUI.
If you're looking for a place that values builders, we'd love to chat: avaloniaui.net/careers/softw…

I don't know if I should be impressed or scared that @jumarmacato sent this to me after asking if we already had a logo for our upcoming @AvaloniaUI Accelerate 🫣
I'm going to assume he's making FULL use of the Classic.Avalonia theme 🤣

One thing I miss from the UK (I live in Italy) is a good traditional British banger (sausage).
Because of Brexit, it's all but impossible to import them, so I've opted to learn to make them myself.
This is my first attempt, and they taste wonderful! ❤️

It's SO tempting to share a sneak peek of what the team is working on, but I've promised to hold off.
But I'm REALLY excited to show you all!

We're considering creating a free, community version of @AvaloniaUI XPF for WPF developers who want to use Native AOT.
The community version would be Windows only, but once you're using XPF, upgrading to unlock more platforms is super easy.

Getting even closer to having @AvaloniaUI XPF Indie licenses available for purchase ❤️
Our admin portal is ready, and we've almost completed the updates to the customer portal!

If people want a new phone wallpaper, I've made one using the @avaloniaui brand.
I'll be super generous and let you have it for free, saving you $11.99 a month! 👀

As someone who uses a full-size magic keyboard, I can't reach this shortcut...
Did Apple bother to look at their keyboard layout before coming up with this?!

It used to feel like home, not so much anymore, but I still love visiting!

I mentioned last week how I had an idea for an @avaloniaUI sample app but needed a KanBan control.
A few hours later, the incredible @mkatsydan has built one! 🚀

Spending the week relaxing, replacing my laptop for a stack of books and a deck chair.
Already burned a little, exercised a lot and half way through the first book.

It's a bit crude, but something like this would be a great addition, as it would raise awareness for both @AvaloniaUI and @UnoPlatform.
I'm sure @k_sasha would be on board with providing some blurb if we could make this happen.

My view is that pages like this should promote non-Microsoft alternatives as well.
I'd also suggest the dot.net domain should be 'owned' and managed by the DNF for the benefit of the whole ecosystem rather than suggesting only Microsoft solutions.

This is amazing!
"It’s important to state we had to make almost no code changes to SciChart WPF itself, and no changes to the API. This is a fully 100% compatible version of SciChart that just magically works on Linux, when targetting Avalonia XPF.
🚀🚀🚀🚀
The incredible team at @scichart have worked really hard to make this happen! ❤️

Finishing off my demos for next week.
Apple isn't the only company that can make calculator apps! While this one doesn't have any AI features, it is a WPF app 🤯
If you want to see this in person, come and find me next week in the UK: avaloniaui.net/blog/avalonia…
