Thanks for the input. Reminds me a little of Xamarin. Sounds really appealing but in the end you are often better off going native.

- Ari_Ugwu 9y agoYup. Xamarin is another tool I want to love. I'm also following the Blazor project (https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor) like it's my job.
- avtar 9y agoCould you please expand on your Xamarin vs. native comment? I’m assuming you aren’t referring to Xamarin.Forms.
- maxxxxx 9y agoOur mobile team was working on creating an app a while ago. We are all C# coders so the obvious solution seemed Xamarin because you can use C# plus you get multi platform. First they dumped Forms and went with a native UI. Then there were a ton of bugs (don't know the details) in Xamarin that caused them to switch to Java on Android. The iOS version will probably be written in Swift. Noone is talking about Xamarin anymore.
