Posting here because the issue tracking app was not the proper venue.

It would be great if the App Framework was a complete offering that allowed the development of stand-alone C# and C++ desktop applications.

Most if not all C# UI frameworks are not performant. I've worked for a long time in Avalonia and WPF, and despite being closer to the OS, they perform worst on average than web UI frameworks. To mention only two pain points - they often struggle to display many elements at once, and struggle greatly on mobile in general. For many users, the performance is good enough, but for some others, it doesn't cut it.

I'm using Noesis for a personal startup, which is being written in C++, but my day job currently has a rich application written in WPF that struggles with the aforementioned performance issue. My company would be willing to evaluate Noesis, if only the Application Framework was production ready and with features like multiple window support. As a C# and Typescript shop, they are unwilling to work in the c++ source code offshoot of a paid solution to make it work. They have never heard of Noesis before I brought it to their attention.

Without any figures to back up my claims, I think there is a market for standalone applications especially in the C# space. I wonder if the application framework is worth the effort to create a mvp to tap in this market. My company was interested in the idea of leveraging WPF skills for a faster more performant UI, and your prices are not unreasonable.

I also wonder if the c++ market could benefit as well. I personally made the choice of Noesis over QT.

In what sense is the App Framework not complete for you? We need a list of features or improvements you are missing. Thank you!
