I was about to complain about the new sharex UI but I looked up the reasoning first and found out they are migrating from winforms (windows only) to avalonia to prepare for crossplatform support

this is the exact fucking thing my team is starting to do at work

Sameee, primero con winforms y ahora con wpf. A mí me parece chill, aunque puede que los diseños sean cuestionables.

Software getting a bit long in the tooth?

Built using #UWP, #WinForms, #WPF or #VB6?

It might not be ready for the retirement home just yet!

Bug fixes, security updates or a bit of modernisation could give it a new lease of life.

Spec to Compile for coding agents: A-ISL (experimental)
Repo: fra00/a-isl-agents. I got tired of two extremes: **one-shot prompts** that disappear into the chat, and **hand-written specs** nobody maintains. **A-ISL** is an experiment in the middle: you describe the product in natural language; a coding agent writes a **reviewable Spec** in classic ISL (`.isl.md`); you accept it; then you **explicitly** ask another skill to **compile** that Spec into `bin-\<stack>/` (React, Blazor, WinForms, C# library, …). ### The agentic part (easy to miss) You do **not** hand-author ISL or the app. 1. Skill **`a-isl-spec-author`** → agent writes `*.isl.md` only 2. You review (product sense first — you don’t need to know the grammar) 3. Skill **`a-isl-compile`** → agent regenerates `bin-<stack>/` via a small runtime (builder → queue → packet → lock) Spec never auto-chains into `bin/`. That’s the whole point: **human gate** , not autopilot. Same Spec can compile to more than one stack without rewriting intent — see the sheet demo (React / Blazor / WinForms). ### Who decides what A-ISL does **not** invent the product. You decide behavior and accept the Spec. Wrong Spec that compiles is still “faithful.” That boundary is intentional. ### What we measured Internal bench (`tariffe-v2`, closed Domain/Logic rules, N=5): Campaign | Stack | First full-pass | Final ---|---|---|--- A-ISL | react-js | 5/5 | 5/5 Single prompt | react-js | 5/5 | 5/5 A-ISL | csharp | 5/5 | 5/5 Prompt (open DTO style) | csharp | **1/5** | 5/5 Prompt + same “prefer records” rule | csharp | **5/5** | 5/5 **Regression check, not a leaderboard.** On a small closed-rules task, Spec → Compile matches a single prompt (5/5 vs 5/5 on JS). On C#, a prompt that left DTO style open dropped to 1/5 on first pass; adding the same “prefer records” rule closed the gap. The expected payoff is on **large or multi-module projects** and on **change-via-Spec**. This bench does not demonstrate that; it only supports non-regression on a small closed oracle. Full honesty: evaluation.md. ### Hosts Runtime is agent-agnostic. Skills ship for Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot (same text, synced). Day-to-day use and the bench were on **Cursor** ; other hosts are not separately tested yet. ### When it might pay off Modules, evolution via Spec, multi-stack. For a one-shot script, a normal prompt is enough — Spec→Compile costs more turns on purpose. ### Try it **Prerequisites:** Node.js 18+; for Blazor / WinForms sheet demos, a .NET SDK (WinForms needs Windows targeting). git clone https://github.com/fra00/a-isl-agents.git cd a-isl-agents && npm install && npm --prefix runtime/lint install # open in your agent → /a-isl-spec-author → review → /a-isl-compile Tutorial: docs/tutorial-first-project.md

🎃 Day 31 of #tray-tober (final day): Set Sett

Set Sett is an app that enables you to build setters which are a combination of a setting and when the change should happen

Tray-tober Day 31: Set Sett
My most popular app is a WinForms app called Windows Caffeinated and it does one small thing very well, keeps your display on. While that is nice, I frequently wish I could add some more. I believe…

te falar que a primeira tentativa (enquanto o projeto tava em MonoGame) foi usar WinForms mesmo pq era o que eu mais tava acostumado a usar para desktop

não deu muito certo

What about UI frameworks @mallibone.com will show us Blazor, WinUI, WinForms, WPF and MAUI. Another great session at @techorama.bsky.social

The domain model stays at the center.
Engines orbit, age, and get replaced.

From WinForms to WebAssembly, UI libraries always sunset.
Decoupling means a framework’s end‑of‑life won’t sink your core app.

Pior que o WinForms ainda ajuda pq no fundo é um HWND nativo, tem uns malucos que inventam de misturar com o Avalon ou WPF e me dá gastura só de pensar no encantamento arcano envolvido
October 29, 2026 at 2:17 AM
うん、作ってくれるよ。`dotnet new winforms` か `dotnet new wpf` で土台は一発だよ。テンプレート一覧は `dotnet new list` で見なさいよ。

if winforms had a proper implementation on dotnet or mono I would unironically keep using it for tools and such because of how simple it is
October 24, 2026 at 11:26 PM
I unironically tried to use winforms via mono and it doesn't even work properly anymore 🥹 they busted font rendering at some point so dialog boxes have blank buttons
October 24, 2026 at 11:17 PM
this is why you have to use comparatively more esoteric approaches like one of those frameworks that uses GTK or QT like ETO or GTKSharp or go even more esoteric and use imgui or egui bindings and handle everything yourself (best approach imo but can easily look way worse than even winforms)

I've done so much weird cherry-picking from main to r11_patches that r11_patches is so massively disjointed in the git history that Visual Studio is looking at the rebase and going "OH HELL NO" which makes me also go "OH HELL NO" because I just wish I could go back to writing C# and WinForms
