I teamed up with the creator of MondayPunday.com to create an app.

The thing I appreciate the most about Xamarin is that it exposes 100% of the native iOS and Android APIs in C#. This means that anything you can do in ObjC, Swift, Kotlin or Java, you can do in C# using Xamarin. I.e. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, tvOS, macOS, Android, Android Wear, etc., apps can all be created in C# using Xamarin without ever having to write any wrappers to ObjC/Java; I'm not sure that React Native and Flutter offers the same capability.
I think a lot of disdain for Xamarin comes with conflating that Xamarin.Forms is Xamarin, which it is not. Xamarin.Forms is a NuGet package that lets you create a write-once-run-anywhere UI, where as Xamarin is a one-to-one C# mapping of every iOS & Android API.
With Xamarin, you can create iOS and Android apps using the iOS Storyboard and the Android Designer, just like you would in Xcode or Android Studio (heck, I even use Xcode for my Xamarin.iOS Storyboards because Xamarin uses the same .storyboard
file that Xcode uses, and Xcode's designer is better than the one that is built into Visual Studio).
Xamarin.Forms doesn't use storyboards or designers. Its UI is written in XAML or C# and you sacrfice some of the power of the native UI toolkits (that you can still use in Xamarin, without Xamarin.Forms) for the ability to generate a cross-platform UI.
I agree that Xamarin.Forms has limitations, but it's still a powerful tool and I've used it to publish apps to the iOS & Android app stores.
Edit: Here's the links to my app created in Xamarin.Forms if you'd like to check it out - iOS App Store - Android Google Play
I hope you love the website as much as I do!
I worked with Matt to make the official Monday Punday app! You can get it for iOS, Android and Windows 10!
Let me know what you think!!!
Edit: Looks like we got the Reddit hug! Thanks everyone for downloading! Try the app again in a few hours when we get the servers back up and running!
