Being able to use Third Party UI components is the KEY for Avalonia being the 1st class option for native UIs. This is a KEY step. Great to hear.
there is very little knowledge base on Avalonia. Official documentation is not complete and in some parts obsolete. I really want to do a big project with Avalonia, but I lack the tutorials in any form!

Fantastic presentation Mike. You really do a nice job of summarizing how Avalonia is a wonderful UI framework for building cross-platform applications.
I love AvaloniaUI !!
Avalonia is my greatest source of hope about dotnet open source community.
This is great❤ very powerful UI
if wasn't for the css like stuff. if i need to use css like stuff, i not just learn/use blazor? it make no sense to use web things on desktop app
Avalonia sounds good.
I was developing native iOS, then moved to Flutter.
Avalonia sounds very similar to Flutter.
Rendering to native views like RN or MAUI is not the way I prefer.
I am excitedly awaiting the unveiling of the Ambient Weather demo app's source code.
I've built several AvaloniaUI projects and he's 100% right – your project will run on everything – with almost and often NO modifications (including WebASM on browsers).
But the best part is that unlike the 'native control' approach where you have to work with the lowest common denominator for each control or completely rearchitect your project, Avalonia works just like WPF, so you can tailor each control exactly as you want, or have theme packs that make the controls look native. It means there's no limit to what you can do cross-platform and the code works almost exactly like standard WPF/MVVM, soif you have an existing WPF project, porting it to Avalonia is really easy.
I needed to port several apps from Windows to to macOS as desktop apps and Xamarin.Forms/MAUI started down the road of supporting macOS, then abandoned it in favor of MacCatalyst, which is basically an iOS app running on macOS. Avalonia builds real macOS apps using WPF XAML and coding paradigms.
❤ Nice
Esto me explotó la mente, conozco XPF y WPF desde sus inicios y es increíble Avalonia
so, if one does not use rider, no need using avalonia? lol
Great looking product. Open source and paid support services.
wait you're telling me Microsoft finally kinda followed SOLID? 😛
This is what I was waiting to hear!
Yeaaah
Great presentation! Great product.
Great work. Kudos.
