Thanks for making coding feel less like a struggle and more like a fascinating journey. Your videos are top-notch!

WPF (2007) continues to be the only XAML that is actually usable.

[@Tadokolov]

Wish Microsoft put more resource to WinUI team

[@pram5532]

Yeah it's pretty embarrassing

[@humbertomoli99]

great update, I would like more icons, I had to use manual bootstrap ones but the native ones are good

[@raulands]

Why would I choose Win App Sdk over WPF? Is there any information or guidance on this or what the main differences are? Thanks

[@dotnetdevni]

Tbere a bug in the navigation bar segment happened to me yeseterday,.

[@ivirius.parody]

Quick question: when will Visual Studio XAML Designer be available for WinUI 3?

[@d30x58]

Nice

WinUI, and the endless sense that it was going nowhere convinced me to switch to Apple and SwiftUI. Microsoft should rebrand WinUI to NoGoUI. Initially, I thought I was being too tough with the team. Now I'm convinced the WInUI team and Microsoft deserve all the discredit they can get. For anyone that is thinking of doing Windows development, do yourself a favour and start having a look at the Apple eco system. There are lots of issues, but they actually are getting addressed and the future is there.

i wish microsoft designers would finally understand that hamburger buttons hurt their desktop UI design and make zero sense.

[@pram5532]

RIP native Windows development. This is embarassing. No designer, no parity with other MS frameworks, still not open source, AND NO ROADMAP 💀💀💀 no wonder Windows is the way it is

[@rogerklk]

Did MS abandon this team? What happened? Efforts in Windows development are at an all time low. *I'm sure the team is working incessantly on it, but where is the community involvement?
