Will do.  Will move forward locally with refactoring, but will defer PR. It is important that the documentation has a common look and feel.   Brother Bill "Accentuate the Positive" - High Priest Kwatamani "If it ain't live, give it up" - High Priest Kwatamani     Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 8:31 AM From: "adospace" ***@***.***> To: "adospace/reactorui-maui-docs" ***@***.***> Cc: "Brother Bill Steinberg" ***@***.***>, "Author" ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [adospace/reactorui-maui-docs] Refactor README with first-look step by step working project with commentary (PR #13)   Before making other PRs please give me time to review these 13 and 14, with my comments you should get my point of view regarding the documentation, thanks — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

we shouldn't focus only on Visual Studio 2022/windows users, this solution is perfectly working in Rider and VsCode too both running under MacOS.

We can't target only VS2022/Windows users, MauiReactor templates are dotnet standard template you can run under CLI, VS2022, Rider Windows/MacOS etc

[brotherbill]

Is a .NET 8 VS2022 solution 100% compatible with Rider and VS Code?   If so, we can just remove comments referring to VS 2022, and that should settle the focus on VS2022 and Windows Machine platform. An approach is to start with VS2022 and Windows Machine, then identify alternatives.     In README.md:

Yes, it's perfectly compatible.

To make it more contestable, from my experience, MauiReactor is also largely adopted by developers that are costumed to Rider or Visual Studio Code under MacOS because they can't use a full-blow XAML designer only existing inside Visual Studio 2022.

Moreover, many of them already have experience with React Native or Flutter both usually developed in Visual Studio Code (often under Mac).

I'll remove commentary specific to VS2022.   As I'm new to PR, this is first one with discussion. What is next step?  Do you make the edits on your side, or do I make changes on my side? If I make the changes, it is with a new PR, or what do I do after the edits and commits?   Message ID: ***@***.***>

[adospace]

You should make the change on your side in the branch brotherbill:first-look:

make the necessary changes, commit them locally then push the branch to GitHub and Ill see them.

When I approve your branch it will be merged with the main branch and visible to the public.
