Re: Blazor popularity and use

I recall reading somewhere last night there are around 25k Blazor apps in the wild (Internet facing I assume) whereas React has over 11 million (?). Don’t know about the accuracy of that but that may explain why the original poster cannot see any advertised jobs On Fri, 8 Sep 2023 at 23:58,

Re: Blazor popularity and use

I've only used Blazor on pet projects, and have been happy with the results. But our workplace is more back-end processing, and we use OutSystems to quickly knock together back-office SPAs. And the business has been very happy with that, so I don't see us moving to Blazor in the future. "I've

Re: Blazor popularity and use

Same from my experience. For intranet apps the supported browsers are made clear. Even for Internet facing apps the supported browsers are just the main ones so I very rarely see issues at all, particularly with using stuff like bootstrap etc. On Fri, 8 Sep 2023 at 14:52, Craig vN via ozdotnet

Re: Blazor popularity and use

Unless you are required to deal with really old browsers (IE), then I just don't see this. I work on a site/app that has literally millions of users and we would spend less than 1% of the time on dealing with browser compatibility issues. On Fri, Sep 8, 2023 at 1:54 PM Dr Greg Low via ozdotnet <

Re: Blazor popularity and use

bwahaha, that just sounds like confirmation bias. The reason SSW might be seeing more Blazor is because that is what they are convincing their customers to use. But in terms of what is really happening out there, there are some stats around, such as the following: Most used web frameworks among

Re: Blazor popularity and use

If demand *for SSW* to use Blazor is overtaking JS, then I'd believe it. I saw the statement made. I've never met a living person who uses Flutter, or the Dart language for that matter. It would be a brave decision to choose that as a development platform for the future. Does MAUI generate

Re: Blazor popularity and use

The only places I've ever heard of Blazor being used is . microsoft.com and this mailing list. We do Angular exclusively and see a lot of it in the wild from other dev at our client sites. On Fri, 8 Sept 2023 at 12:30, DotNet Dude via ozdotnet < ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> wrote: > I find it very

Re: Blazor popularity and use

I agree. React demand is far higher than any other front end framework as far as I can see. Angular ticks all the corporate governance boxes but it is so unwieldy and requires so much boilerplate before getting to the business logic it has really lost the war. Most of it comes down to popularity.

We tried it with one small client about two years ago and it went well but couldn’t find any developers who wanted to use Blazor to expand to other projects. We mainly use Angular now On Fri, 8 Sep 2023 at 11:14, Tom Rutter via ozdotnet wrote: > Is anyone here actively using Blazor on a decent
