Truly inspiring to use the new macOS and iOS and realise I’m qualified to work in their design team! Evidently design experience and taste are no longer requirements.

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 do love doing these, but at least one community question will inevitably lead me to share something we didn’t intend to discuss publicly yet 🫣

While most companies consume open-source software without giving back, @DevolutionsInc has shown true leadership by investing in the ecosystem they rely on. This is how we build a sustainable future for OSS, and it's exactly the blueprint other organisations should follow.

The team is deep in v12 planning with development underway, and I’m already compiling my v13 feature wishlist. 😎

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/softwa…

I've decided to step away from Twitter as it's not a pleasant place to spend time. My account will remain up, but I won't be active here. You can find me on the other platform if you'd like to stay connected. Ciao 👋

Great thread on paid vs free users. I can confidently say that our paying users are by far the easiest to work with.

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!

Hey @AvaloniaUI, check out my app! WoWDatabaseEditor - an IDE for TrinityCore server was showcased some time ago at Avalonia, since then the UI has been slightly upgraded to look even more modern :-)

I was chatting with a colleague this morning about our GitHub donations (for @AvaloniaUI) If each user donated $1 a month, we could expand our team from 11 to 70+ developers, funded entirely by donations 🤯 Imagine what we could achieve with that kind of engineering power!
