Hybrid Web and Desktop apps with .NET MAUI and Blazor
summary
Claim: bring a Blazor web app to desktop and mobile with a few lines of .NET MAUI code and run the .NET runtime natively on Windows Mac iOS and Android. Demonstrations use Blazor WebView and the new Hybrid WebView to host React or Blazor UIs, show C↔JS message passing, reuse C# business logic, and implement offline tile caching and a countdown and to‑do app; demos build and run despite demo‑machine hiccups.
