This project demonstrates how to develop tailored UI using .NET MAUI. However, Marvelous .NET MAUI is not just a demonstration, it is a fully functional app that allows users to navigate the intersection of history, art, and culture by exploring the Wonders of the World.

Thanks to the original version of the app, you can also find out how well .NET MAUI competes against Flutter, for example in terms of app performance.

Custom controls

Tailored buttons, icons and other controls that match the Wonderous design system. Some of them are just compositions of existing .NET MAUI controls, and some are (almost completely) drawn using .NET MAUI cross-platform drawing APIs, such as a slider to select the period of the currently displayed artifacts.
