Doing some issue triage on AzUrlShortener
Summary
In this stream, Frank returned to his roots and did some much-needed issue triage for the AzUrlShortener project, migrating issues from the official Microsoft repo back to his personal one to maintain control over the project’s development. He spent time discussing a creative new project idea—a CI/CD bot for validating acronyms in documentation—and caught up with the community about his new office commute and two-PC streaming setup. The vibe was chill and conversational, serving as a productive administrative session to set the stage for future coding.

Looking at AzUrlShortener, what works, what need love
Summary
Looking to breathe some life back into his open-source AzUrlShortener project after a six-month hiatus, Frank focused on updating dependencies and modernizing the deployment workflow using the Azure Developer CLI (AZD) and .NET Aspire. Despite some initial friction with missing environment variables and SDK mismatches, he successfully pushed a fresh deployment to Azure while troubleshooting the process in real-time. The stream had a classic, relaxed “back on Linux” vibe, filled with community catch-ups, travel stories, and a collaborative spirit as the chat helped navigate the nuances of budget-friendly cloud architecture.

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
