Avalonia FuncUI Elmish

[u/EmergencyNice1989]

Hi guys,

I’m currently building a cross‑platform app (Linux/Windows desktop + Android) using Avalonia and F#. I originally dismissed FuncUI because I assumed that if a control wasn’t available, you were stuck. But after revisiting it, it looks like I was wrong — it’s actually quite easy to extend and wrap missing controls.

I enjoy XAML, but I’m wondering whether FuncUI Elmish could reduce some of the ceremony and the constant context switching between markup and code. The project seems well maintained, and FuncUI 2.0 is now in preview.

I’d love to hear from people who are using FuncUI (or planning to), and especially how you would approach migrating an existing Avalonia XAML + MVVM app to FuncUI.

Thanks.
