in the roadmap i see the plan to have support for MAUI
is the plan for this to just have support for Blazor /MAUI hybrid applications ?
or is there any thought to creating any tooling for the XAML / MAUI UI ?
just asking as there are developers who have been asking for a XAML / MAUI design tool and so far no one has came up with one.
for blazor in MAUI with radzen is there any plan to make that work like the current radzen in creating crud forms that could run in a phone app ?
again this is just asking what you plan to build. not asking you to do more.
Visual Studio has a very very limited help with what they call "Hot reload" where you have to run the MAUI application and you can then edit the xaml and see how it updates in the app and in a preview window.
back when WPF and Silverlight came out a developer could use Microsoft Blend to edit xaml.
then they kind of left Blend setting there and killed Silverlight. then they acquired XAMARIN and have updated to MAUI and WInUI3.
and during all of this they have not made any update to Blend that supports the new version of XAML.
Blend for Visual studio is still shipped but is left for old WPF work.
Microsoft seems to think that no developers need or want any visual layout tools for anything now.
so your design tools for Blazor are great helpers for that area!
so yeah no one seems to be looking at any kind of Visual Maui tools.
the one thing is MAUI apps have the 4 render paths: Windows, Mac, IOS and Android and the screen sizes , phone, tablet and desktop.
I would not ask anyone to try and deal with all of them in one tool.
but if the Windowns rendering could be done with some layout in the right sizes that could get things to a point where then a developer could test for the target device with abase ui working.
and with that possibly the real future will be a Blazor for the phone and tablet that dumps the xaml rendering and uses the browser engine ?
