A single app model and a simplified local run loop. This Open Source Friday, we'll learn about @aspire.dev: a code-first orchestration and observability layer for distributed apps, with a built-in dashboard for logs, traces, and metrics. Set a reminder 🔔 gh.io/aspire

MAUI Day is coming to Cologne 🇩🇪 Friday, October 23, 2026. One day, in person, all about building mobile apps with .NET MAUI. No live stream or recordings, so if you can make it: go grab a ticket. Seats are limited. https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/net-maui-day-cologne-2026-tickets-1990687626278

Mobile apps are easy. Mobile apps with backends? That’s where things get messy 😅 At #MAUIDay, @mallibone.com shows how @aspire.dev simplifies: Local dev & orchestration Frontend ↔ backend workflows Observability across your stack Build faster. Debug smarter.

You know the Rive animations? Basically Lottie but supercharged, interactive, everything! For the longest time I wanted those for .NET MAUI, but never found the time to do it With Copilot I was able to do it in 1-2 hours! Rolled it into a plugin so you can enjoy too! github.com/jfversluis/P...
