@djenura @davidfowl @mitchdennydev You mean 100% full Avalonia XAML that you can render to using Blazor?

@linqpad Does that use GitHub - tomlm/Iciclecreek.Avalonia.Terminal to host the CLI?

[Tom Laird-McConnell @thermous]

@jinekLESNIK @wieslawsoltes I just published it:

@jinekLESNIK @wieslawsoltes https://t.co/T6JKhwsjHE It's not been published yet, it's a work in progress.

[Tom Laird-McConnell @thermous]

I just published Iciclecreek.Avalonia.SixelBuffer
tomlm/Iciclecreek.Avalonia.SixelBuffer: Avalonia targeting console apps via Sixel.

[Tom Laird-McConnell @thermous]

@wieslawsoltes @jinekLESNIK It's SIXEL some terminals support it (Windows Terminal, XTerm if it's compiled with it turned on, WezTerm, etc.)
So console keyboard and mouse with FrameBuffer rendering as sixel.

[Tom Laird-McConnell @thermous]

I created a new Avalonia XTerm Control

Blazor in the Console. Blazor everywhere.

[Wiesław Šoltés @wieslawsoltes]

Did you know you can write TUI console app using Avalonia with Blazor syntax ! https://t.co/WRmXe1Zta6

[Avalonia UI @AvaloniaUI]

Packaging apps is a nightmare.
We’ve added MCP to Parcel to fix that.

Tell your favourite AI:
"Package my Avalonia app for macOS as a signed DMG"

No cert wrangling. No build scripts. No wasted afternoons.

In 2 minutes you’ll have signed macOS app ready to ship.

Yes, even a macOS DMG built & signed… on Windows. 🤯

Coming next month!

Making it easier for html/js devs to migrate to Avalonia, this is working js in Avalonia xaml

[Wiesław Šoltés @wieslawsoltes]

Its amazing that you can with less then 200 lines of C# code enable JavaScript scripting in Avalonia xaml app. And yet they say .NET is not dynamic enough.
