NoteBookmark is on Android, now what?
Summary
In this session, Frank dives back into NoteBookmark, refining the Android experience using .NET MAUI after successfully getting the app working offline. The stream focuses on “the little things” that make a difference: designing and implementing a clean new logo and fixing layout UI issues like the post grid and footer.
Working alongside a chatty “CB” (Cloud Bot) and using Gemini as a pair programmer, Frank demonstrates how he uses AI to rapidly bridge the gap between web development and mobile design. The vibe is a perfect mix of technical deep-dives into Fluent UI and lighthearted banter about retro-gaming, new job transitions, and the constant struggle of “landing” in the stream’s physics-based leaderboard.

🍁 Happy Canada Day! Syncing offline database in .NET MAUI NoteBookmark
Summary
Frank spent Stream #429 tackling offline database sync issues in his .NET MAUI NoteBookmark app — testing adding and modifying notes while offline, only to find the synchronization kept deleting local changes instead of preserving them, which he’ll need to revisit. Between debugging sync logic, he celebrated Canada Day in sweltering 31°C heat, mentioned his new tech lead role at Schneider Electric, and shouted out fellow .NET streamers while the community racked up scores in the landing game. 📺 - Twitch archive - stream no. 429

Working on the .NET MAUI version of NoteBookmark
Summary
In this session, Frank dove into the .NET MAUI version of NoteBookmark, focusing on creating a settings page that allows the mobile app to point to a custom API URL for offline synchronization. He experimented with Kepler and GitHub Copilot’s auto-agent to manage tasks across different worktrees, though he spent a good chunk of the stream troubleshooting a very “chatty” CB bot that got stuck in a feedback loop. Beyond the code, the vibe was lively as the community brainstormed ideas for a new slingshot-style chat game and shared a few laughs over “Dungeon Crawler Carl” and the challenges of surviving a summer heatwave.

First steps with .NET MAUI creating a Android app
Summary
In this stream, Frank celebrates Quebec’s national holiday by diving into .NET MAUI to build an Android version of his Notebookmark web app, aiming to let him stay productive while commuting offline. After some initial struggles with emulator performance and environment setup, he uses AI to brainstorm the product requirements and manages to get the app running on a virtual tablet. Despite a few “emulator hell” moments and a persistent dialogue crash, he successfully debugs the issue to find a missing fluent service provider, keeping the vibe fun and interactive with the help of his community and the streamer map.
