An initial release as been published on GitHub! Draw or click around a similarity map to find the icon you're looking for! github.com/TheJoeFin/Win-… #windev #windows #native #winapp #dotnet #indiedev

@unixterminal I agree that's why I made this little wup command to update everything on Windows. gist.github.com/TheJoeFin/75ee… There is still room for improvement, but I like it :)

I just love checking for updates Updates You tiny little updates You precious little updates Where are you?

New app for finding Fluent Icons by drawing! Blog post on how I built this with the WinApp Skill coming soon! #WinDev #Windows #IndieDev #WinUI

As always, FREE and Open Source!! github.com/TheJoeFin/Trdo

@James_M_South @tomzorz_ 👀 lets kick off season 2 of @INotifyPodcast!

Does anyone who does videos or podcasts want to talk about ImageSharp and co?

Just a heads up to the other Windows Ink nerds out there, no InkToolbar, just an InkCanvas so I'd expect it to be the same as was released long ago in an experimental

@zacbowden Play around with making your own cursors with my app Simple Icon File Maker which also supports making .cur files! apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/s…

I hope with Windows K2 Microsoft is thinking about redesigning/updating the Windows cursors to something that isn't rooted in Windows 8 design. A fluent-ized set of cursor icons would be awesome.

Is it a bug or a 'feature' that the Windows Sandbox being enabled consumes over a gig of RAM just being enabled, not open?

Why Local-First Apps Matter; And How Simple QR Code Maker Lives the Philosophy joefinapps.com/2026/05/06/why… #windev #windows #native #winapp #dotnet #indiedev

Can someone at @surface or @Qualcomm (whoever writes the 5G Adaptor driver) fix the cellular driver for the Surface Pro 11? It has been messed up for months!! and I think @UbigiOfficial is getting tired of me asking them for help because it is not their issue

@tinrocha I like it!

@TheJoeFin Joe, small suggestion about the UI.

Starting simple, but customizing QR Codes with a center logo, colors, and removing the background from the logo PNG using local Windows AI! apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nch56g… #WinDev #Windows #IndieDev #WinUI #QrCode

@tobitege I did not create the QR Code generation lib, I am using this one nuget.org/packages/ZXing…

@TheJoeFin Very nice! The core QR creation and conversion would be great to have as NuGet package(s). Is that something you've considered?

Test of generating 10k QR Codes was successful, it was a little laggy at first, but churned through all 10k no issue! github.com/TheJoeFin/Simp… #WinDev #Windows #WinUI #IndieDev #FOSS #OpenSource

@ibuildthecloud I assumed it is electron, so surely it is the exact same app, what was different about the Windows one that made it 'look like crap'?

So I tried out the Copilot app and I was like, "This looks like crap." But then I saw an influencer video who used macOS and it doesn't look like crap. Then it dawned on me it's because I'm using Windows. Even GitHub doesn't care about Windows. 😂

@ttaylorr_b @github Congrats Taylor! Git and GitHub are lucky to have you!

10 years @GitHub today!
