Avalonia is quietly dominating the HMI space:

🏭 Factory control panels
🏥 Medical device interfaces
🔬 Scientific instrument displays

The reason?

Direct GPU rendering on embedded Linux. No desktop environment needed, just beautiful, responsive UIs on minimal hardware.

Many said the ancient knowledge was lost to time... the sacred arts forgotten... but against all odds, we have done it!

We have implemented a GroupBox for Avalonia 🧵⚡️

We're thrilled to welcome:

→ Two senior engineers bringing deep expertise
→ Our first full-time technical writer (finally! 📚)

Huge thanks to Devolutions for their continued support in making this growth possible!

Nothing beats a little in-person collaboration!

A few of the team met in Bologna this week and it sparked some great ideas that we're looking forward to sharing with you all 😍

Sometimes the data says everything you want to.

Avalonia has more GitHub stars than Microsoft's official solution.

The new docking and MDI library from Actipro is seriously impressive.

It nails the Visual Studio feel with tabbed MDI, auto-hide, drag-to-dock, layout persistence, MVVM support and it's fully customisable! 😳

Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t here yet, so we whipped up a sleek UI with @avaloniaui.net to keep our retro cravings satisfied. 🎮✨

What classic are you replaying right now?

When Microsoft said WPF couldn't run on macOS and Linux, we proved them wrong.

3 years later, and Fortune 500 companies worldwide trust Avalonia XPF to run their mission-critical apps everywhere. 🚀

Thank you to everyone who supported us on this journey!

With the release of Avalonia 11.3.0, we introduced Container Queries.

Similar to CSS's Container Queries, it allows for styles to be activated based on the size of an ancestor. This mean responsive UIs ❤️

Strange. We've tested it with several personal emails.

We use an email verification service, so its possible that you're email is failing that verification step.

That only impacts XPF trials. If you don’t want to try XPF then a personal email is fine. You’ll get immediate access, but XPF access will be disabled.

You should be able to sign up without requiring any company information.

Join our new community hub.

Connect, share feedback, and engage with Avalonians. Get exclusive access to demos, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes secrets we'd usually keep under wraps. 😉
