Building desktop apps using .NET MAUI and Blazor

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Hybrid approach claims: reuse Blazor website components inside a native shell, run UI in BlazorWebView while everything else is 100% native, and access platform APIs like keychain/secure storage and file I/O. Demos build a blog editor using the Monaco editor and a service‑bus visualizer, hostable in NET MAUI, WinForms, WPF and Mac Catalyst; apps run in the demo on macOS and Windows. Implementation requires AddBlazorWebView, register services/components, and avoids shipping Chromium so footprint is smaller than Electron.
