would be interesting to port wpf widgets to .net core and expose those through some sort of electron alternative.

Yes, a cross platform WPF. UPF I guess

Like Xamarin for .NET Core?

[devoply]

Does Xamarian provide desktop widgets?

[Maarten88]

There is Xamarin.Forms, which is essentially cross platform XAML with a base set of widgets. It supports Android, iOS, UWP, and they are working on MacOS. No Linux yet.

I wouldn't recommend Forms, I worked with it for about 4-5 months full time last summer and it was unstable and unperformant.

Last summer was a long time ago in Xamarin world. Works pretty well now.

[zerr]

Forms is the only real selling point for Xamarin. Too bad it doesn't have a good reputation.

[roryisok]

I'd like to see some benchmark comparisons with electron

[roryisok]

Is xamarin free?
