Very cool! Thereβ€˜s some overlap with MVVM Toolkit 8.4. Does combining them work?

The last release was at the end of 2024. It's just been eerily quiet. But I do see that PRs are getting merged, just the releases are missing. I'm waiting for support for .NET 10 without setting the <LangVersion> to "preview".

I’d definitely count the Canary Islands in that list. Saying they’re in Europe doesn’t make sense to me.
