Are we going to have flutter-like ui components on top of skia? Replacing default maui components with skia based custom controls would be quite awesome. |

That's one of the ways to look a it, one of a simple answers could be a yes. 🤭 If flutter is drawing an app on a canvas why can't we do the same. We were just missing a system of drawn Xamarin/MAUI-friendly controls with bindings, animations, gestures.. Now we have a basic range of drawn controls (think widgets) one can subclass and customise at will. For example, switches/sliders included in the demo demonstrate how easy it is to modify them to any look the client would require. This approach gives the freedom to recreate any design without going laggy, not afraid to use shadows anymore, cache those the non-changing layers as bitmaps and forget about them. At the same time it is very time-effective, for many drawn controls you do not have to care about creating platform dependent code anymore. It has also shown to be very easy too transform an existing maui app into a drawn maui app, like replacing The engine source should go public very soon, we are talking weeks, after that hopefully all MAUI devs would get a new tool in their pocket. There is of course still much work to be done, this is an early alpha version, but I hope the community would participate. |
