A massive shoutout to our incredible community!
Your passion powers the ultimate cross-platform UI framework for .NET.
We've shipped the Avalonia DevTools MCP server in 2.2.0-beta2.
Watch Claude recreate a production UI view from a screenshot, inspecting properties, comparing outputs, and iterating until it's pixel-perfect.
This is what agentic development looks like:

@jfversluis Apologies, it's not XamlC but CoreCompile where it just churns... just tried it again and it's currently at over 300s... usually takes 20-30s. I'm jumping onto Discord so can pick it up with you there. (msivers)
@davidortinau / @jfversluis just updated my Maui app to .NET 10 RC2 and implemented Global Xmlns configuration - but now I have squiggly red lines in my XAML everywhere! Is there an ETA for VS Code tooling support?
@jongaunt@Morrisons Much prefer self checkout and scan and go is even better!... I appreciate some people prefer the interaction and assistance so each to their own good when there are both options.
@ctrl4homekit are there plans to expose Workflows to Shortcut App on MacOS?... it would make workflows so powerful if I could trigger them through Shortcuts on my Home Automation Mac Mini.
@KarenPayneMVP No brackets. As tempting as it is for those really quick and simple scenarios it can start to look messy after a while. When reviewing large amounts of code it definitely helps to have the visual clarity of the brackets.
@marcgravell@kzu It seems very disingenuous and obnoxious when I see comments from people highlighting whether people do or do not contribute/sponsor. Availability of OSS has never been provided (sold) on the basis that you contribute or sponsor so why the hostility.
@marcgravell@kzu I think people have short memories though. This is exactly why commerce and enterprise were so hesitant to use OSS back in the day. If everything up to this point has been provided on the basis of free to use (subject to terms of license) then it feels a lot like switch and bait.
@marcgravell@kzu I understand the frustration but the frustration probably wasn’t there when the product was in it’s infancy and was new and exciting and we all wanted to write code just because we could and share it with the world.
@hylegoz@okyrylchuk@kzu Exactly. I can totally understand the frustration of having such a big library and not be making money off of it… but I’m not sure how that is the consumers fault?… it’s one of the reasons why we use it?
@okyrylchuk@kzu It’s switch and bait… it’s implied that here’s a library you can use for free… oh wait, now it’s popular, you’re a bad human because you are using my software for free!
