The Future of Cross-Platform Blazor

on YouTube ↗58m

" summary

Compares concrete Blazor deployment choices: Blazor WebAssembly (runtime-as-WASM, slower ~30% vs desktop, good for UI but avoid CPU-heavy work), PWAs (manifest + service worker; installable, offline caveats, limited device APIs), Electron via electronnet (desktop shell + ASP.NET Core server, node/npm hidden, Windows/Mac/Linux support, lags .NET versions), and Blazor Hybrid (MAUI) (WebView2 Evergreen, full .NET speed, iOS/Android/Windows/Mac but no Linux). Shows a working demo app (blazPort), file-IO demos, and a shared Razor class library strategy; notes one index HTML switch (webview vs webassembly).
