Interesting framework is following Flutter's footsteps, and it looks like it is going to make it easy for .NET C# developers to onboard. However, why make the framework name so complicated? Do not roll off the tongue. IMO.

Wow interesting article. Thanks for sending that.

Some of the simpler names: (Something that's more easy to relate to across the global and not fixed to a specific region or one demographic)

1. Glide Mobile Native - Represents the smooth transition for .NET developers
2. Propeller Mobile Native— Represents the power and driving force to transition mobile for .NET developers
3. Razor/Blazor Mobile Native — Reusing the existing prominent names from the .NET world to represent a mobile framework for .NET Developers.
4. Brick Mobile Native - Hard as a brick.
5. Tart Mobile Native - Or food related references

For context: the codename for WPF was Avalon, should probably have mentioned that in the article,🤦
