Disservice might be a little strong, then. Perhaps better spoken is “cuts against the grain of…” :smile:

True, and thank you for your great feedback/input. I have not ran an open source project with multiple contributors so I should keep my mouth shut. :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess my biggest perceived benefit of open source is accessibility and quality. If I run into a problem I can submit a PR or just compile the code myself with the fix (in case the repo is stale). But that doesn’t have to be the case in a closed source product that has active owners.

On that note, the reason why I am even considering @filcon’s product is that it is the most active and project with the most recent activity. I also appreciated that he constantly posted on this thread when a new release was made. He’s serious about it! I hope to look into it soon and see what it’s all about.

Yeah, running an open source project certainly isn’t easy. I’ve had a few attempts and learned a lot in the process. The latest one is MonoGame.Extended which is going pretty well. There’s a few contributors already and I think it’ll benefit many MonoGame users as it grows.

I follow this thread because I’m very interested making tools and libraries for MonoGame developers. Adding some sort of UI support to MonoGame.Extended is on the cards. Maybe it’ll be an extension to Empty Keys, maybe it’ll be something else entirely. I’m not sure yet.

Here we go

Core, MonoGame and Paradox3d libraries. Still not happy about some implementations there, but it works.

When I was working in the corporate environments as a software engineer I would constantly read complaints from other developers about the Android platform. They all concluded that it was a nightmare to work with. I had one development project that had to interface with FaceBook and if using that API was similar to the experiences that people have had with the Android SDK than I completely understand. :slightly_smiling:

I used to use awesomium with xna. It allows to build ui with html5 and async stuff. (used by eve online and a lot of games)
But it has not been updated for about 2 years now and their website is dead/no post.
If anyone knows of a webbrowser in offscreen mode…?
