I build open-source products on .NET to prove it's the right choice. Here's a teleprompter I made in a week.
I think .NET is one of the best frameworks out there.
Mature, fast, you can build anything with it. And it drives me nuts that people skip it because some JavaScript framework got more Twitter likes this week.
So I made it my thing.
Every product, every idea I have, I build on .NET. And I open-source it. Because nobody cares about opinions, people care about working code.
This time it's a teleprompter.
About a year ago I started recording YouTube videos. I bought a physical teleprompter, the kind you mount on a camera.
It was terrible. Clunky, uncomfortable, I spent more time adjusting the thing than actually recording.
But it got me thinking about how a good one should work.
Then I got busy with other stuff and forgot about it completely.
A few weeks ago I remembered that idea. With Claude for UI and Codex for development, so everything moves way faster now, so I just sat down and built it.
Took me about a week. C#, Blazor, runs in the browser.

Next I'm wrapping it in a MAUI app so it works as a proper native app on any device.
After that, local AI features. Same codebase, same stack, no switching to something else halfway through.
That's the whole point. You pick .NET and you just keep going.
I'm not saying this to convert anyone.
I'm saying it because I keep doing it and it keeps working. You don't need to chase hype. Pick a framework that lets you ship and then actually ship.
If you want to look at the code or tell me what's wrong with it, I'm here.
