What you're supporting

The server that runs our website costs at minimum $30/mo, often much more. The remaining funds go directly to the few developers who very regularly contribute to these projects.

The UWP Community

We've built a safe and professional discord server where users and developers of modern windows apps can flourish.

Users provide feedback, bug reports, help with translation, and can help shape the future of their favorite apps.
Developers can get help from other developers while creating their app and incubate their project with our collab services. Our collab services gives projects a channel and allows tracking their beta testers, translators, supporters, and more, with no setup on your part.

Direct and easy communication between users and developers is becoming increasingly useful.

We've set up the basics for project management and deal with trolls, raiders, spammers, etc., so you don't have to.

The collab services have a website and a backend, and a small portion of your support will go towards keeping these servers online.

Strix Music

In the past, listening to music was limited to a subset of mediums - radio, CDs, vinyl, etc. It was easy to create a music collection that you could call your own.

Now, you can listen to any song, anywhere, anytime, and the songs don't even need to be published with a record label. YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, audio files, Bandcamp, and countless others.

Music is scattered across the digital landscape. Strix Music brings it all together again. Open source, extensible, skinnable, cross platform, and completely free.

OwlCore

This includes OwlCore, OwlCore.Remoting, OwlCore.Storage, OwlCore.Kubo, etc.

These libraries contain the essentials and the experimental, split across many packages.

  • Countless useful extension methods, static helpers and classes.
  • A extremely lightweight and flexible RPC framework for .NET Standard 2.0
  • A storage abstraction that's evolved from years of experimenting and research, architectured in the open with the community.
  • A library of essential tooling for Kubo, the earliest and most widely used implementation of IPFS.
  • Much more not listed, much more to come.
