TreatWarningsAsErrors without sabotaging dev builds (.NET 10)
If you have ever flipped TreatWarningsAsErrors to true and immediately regretted it, you are not alone. A recent r/dotnet thread making the rounds suggests a simple adjustment: enforce warning-free code in Release (and CI), but keep Debug flexible for local exploration: https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/1qjum3h/treating_warnings_as_errors_in_dotnet_the_right/ Release-only enforcement is a policy, not a toggle What you are really trying…

Perfetto + dotnet-trace: a practical profiling loop for .NET 9/.NET 10
The fastest way to get unstuck on “it’s slow” in .NET is to stop guessing and start looking at a timeline. A neat write-up making the rounds this week shows a clean workflow: capture traces with dotnet-trace, then inspect them in Perfetto (the same trace viewer ecosystem many people know from Android and Chromium land):…

A WinUI 3 “local-only notes” app is the right kind of boring: offline-first, SQLite, keyboard-first
Another nice “small but real” desktop app showed up on r/csharp today: Miyanyedi Quick Note, a lightweight note-taking tool built with WinUI 3 and SQLite, explicitly designed to be offline-first and privacy-friendly. Source: the original post and the Microsoft Store listing: r/csharp thread and Microsoft Store app page. “Local-only” is a feature, not a missing…

An open-source WPF SSH manager shows a practical pattern: xterm.js in WebView2, secrets via DPAPI
Today a neat Windows desktop project popped up on r/csharp: SshManager, an open-source SSH and serial manager built with .NET 8 and WPF. Source: the original post on Reddit and the repository: r/csharp thread and tomertec/sshmanager. The interesting bit is not “SSH in C#” SSH itself is solved. What is worth studying is how this…

CV Shortlist: an AI-powered .NET 10 SaaS went open-source, and the stack is worth studying
A C# post I bookmarked today is not “another demo app”. It is a full, opinionated SaaS that was built as a commercial product, then open-sourced as an educational reference: CV Shortlist. Source: CV Shortlist repo and the original r/csharp post. The useful part is the integration boundary, not the UI Most AI sample apps…

Flutter Text: the `leadingDistribution` detail that changes how your UI “breathes”
A Flutter tutorial video published on 2026-01-16 reminded me of a subtle but very real source of “why does this look off?” bugs: the Text widget is simple until you start combining custom fonts, tight line heights, and multi-line layouts. Source: Video and the original r/FlutterDev post. Line height is not just TextStyle.height On Flutter…

ModularPipelines V3: write CI pipelines in C#, debug locally, stop babysitting YAML
This week I saw another reminder that CI does not have to be a blind push-and-pray loop: ModularPipelines V3 is actively shipping (latest tag v3.0.86 was published on 2026-01-18) and it leans hard into a simple idea: your pipeline is just a .NET app. Source: ModularPipelines repo and the v3.0.86 release. The part that changes…

TypeMonkey is a good reminder: Flutter desktop apps need architecture first, polish later
A small Flutter desktop project showed up on r/FlutterDev today: TypeMonkey, a MonkeyType-like typing app that is explicitly positioned as “early, but structured”. Source: the original post and the repository: r/FlutterDev thread and BaldGhost-git/typemonkey. Desktop is where “just ship UI” stops working On mobile you can sometimes get away with a single state object and…

Flet in 2026: Flutter UI, Python logic, and the trade-offs you need to admit upfront
A r/FlutterDev thread resurfaced Flet as “build Flutter apps in Python”. It’s not a new idea, but it’s a persistent one because the motivation is real: a lot of teams have deep Python expertise and want a cross-platform UI without adopting Dart on day one. Sources: the Reddit thread and flet.dev. What Flet is (and…

Flutter 3.x gets a new “offline RAG” building block: `mobile_rag_engine` (Rust core)
On-device RAG is showing up in Flutter land as something you can actually ship, not just demo. mobile_rag_engine was published on pub.dev just the other day and it’s opinionated in the right way: a Rust core for the heavy lifting, a Flutter API for integration, and prebuilt binaries so you do not set up Rust,…
