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!

Aspire

When you’re done binging Stranger Things this holiday season🎄
Watch nerds struggle to build and deploy modern apps - live.

It’s long. It’s uncut.
Sometimes it’s a little unhinged.

And there’s always something to learn.

Learn how to build a reusable control within .NET MAUI and use things like GraphicsView and Animation to create a rather fancy looking wheel.
