GitHub - jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.Rive: Rive animation runtime bindings for .NET MAUI Rive animation runtime bindings for .NET MAUI. Contribute to jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.Rive development by creating an account on GitHub.

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!

Want to help out test that fix for .NET MAUI? With this tooling it's not easier than ever to get PR builds, nightly feeds, and switch back to stable when you're done!

Or... Let Copilot do it for you πŸ™„

Whenever I use GitHub Copilot CLI and I want to close the terminal window, I type exit...

Only to realize very quickly that I'm still in Copilot. And I now gave it a prompt with just "exit".

EVERY. DAY.

And that is why AI will take over at some point.

RIP Converters? For Grial UI Kit clients, they’ve been dead since 2022. πŸͺ¦ It’s great to see .NET MAUI officially bringing C# Expressions to the core! Validation feels good πŸ™

Copilot is starting to become disobedient...

In this case it was doing it out of security reasons though, so good Copilot!
