Super comprehensive analysis. Great to see a non-AI generated article these days.

Modernizing Legacy Apps with AI

Posted by sasakrsmanovic2 on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @09:32AM
from the self-post dept.

It might actually turn out that if you were sitting on an unmaintained legacy app, the timing actually works out for you:), funny twist of fate. MCP servers now make the modernization path a lot more straightforward. A tech journalist Paul Thurrott once published an open-source Notepad clone, NotepadWPF (https://github.com/thurrott/NotepadWPF) , as a way to examine modern Windows UI patterns....

Re:What WASM 3.0 launch means for .NET Developers on Thursday October 02, 2025 @03:46PM (#45454561)
yeah on the surface it looks like just another bytecode. but wasm wasn’t some pointless nih thing, it actually filled a gap: a secure, standardized, vendor neutral format for the web that isn’t chained to orcle, microsoft, or anyone’s private stack.

Looks AMAZING. Is it only on mobile or it also works on web/desktop?

Unclear why. But it is not uncommon for Microsoft to leave 'holes' in their offering soo that the partner network can fill them. Over 90% of Microsoft's revenue is partner-delivered. This often sparks great innovation outside of Microsoft walls.

Uno Platform promotes the use of .NET, so is therefore a tech-partner to Microsoft.

And with Hot Design (https://platform.uno/hot-design/) Microsoft's .NET Ecosystem becomes richer for a tool that no other developer ecosystem has. It is A RUNTIME VISUAL DESIGNER for .NET Apps. It turns the App you are developing into a Visual Design surface you can drag-and-drop components on, data bind,etc.

Re:Uno Platform Studio: GUI Designer for Cross-Platform .NET Applications on Saturday November 16, 2024 @01:24PM (#42158048)
Hot Design is one-of-a kind, for Uno Platform only.

Also, there are lots of reasons why one may chose Uno for the next project https://platform.uno/docs/articles/concepts/overview/why-uno...

Competition is always good, especially when healthy and productive. See any industry, why would software be any different.

Especially when there is also collaboration. Uno team collaborates quite a bit with .NET, Visual Studio and MAUI teams.

Love it!

Unclear to me where this app runs as far as deskop goes? Persumably windows, so is there not a way to reuse winui localization via WinAppsSDK https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/winui/winui3/...

Written 10 years ago but a lot of it still holds true.

Not enough is being said about focus.

Love MUI and have been following them for years. I especially like how transparent they have been in sharing their sustainability plan.

Correct - and with Uno you get to chose either one of those approaches - https://platform.uno/pixel-perfect/
Re:Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster on Thursday May 02, 2024 @09:16AM (#40235867)
Many differences. To begin, NativeScript is JS based, where Uno is .NET Based (therefore C# and XAML).

Fun fact, I worked on NativeScript team, and now on Uno team.

Re:Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster on Thursday May 02, 2024 @09:14AM (#40235847)
Why? Seems like a flaming comment without any substance to back it up. Could you elaborate please?
Re:Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster on Thursday May 02, 2024 @09:12AM (#40235822)
Good feedback. C# and XAML are on parity. But if you are seeing too much of one and not the other, it needs to be adjusted
Re:Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster on Thursday May 02, 2024 @09:07AM (#40235776)
Nope it is not.
