  1. Oh boy - I KNOW #VisualStudioForMac is out of support. But not being able to INSTALL it again to support our clients and compile/debug „old“ #Xamarin Forms Code … really?! 😩
    So what’s a quick/easy solution to compile/debug on a Mac until mid April? (Please share/boost)

  2. The bad news is that Visual Studio for Mac is now officially discontinued.

    The good news is that you can get #JetBrainsRider with a 65% discount for the next few days.

    That’d be around 60€ for a one year subscription in Europe.

  3. Really sad to hear that #Microsoft is killing #VisualStudioForMac 😐

    Since the release of dotnet core, I had used jetBrains Rider on macOS, but after Microsoft re-branded Xamarin Studio to be VS for Mac it became my primary IDE on my macOS laptops.

    I guess it's back to Rider? 🤷‍♂️ I don't view VS Code as a viable alternative -- while powerful, compared to other IDEs such as Visual Studio on Windows or jetBrains Rider makes VS code just feel like a fancy text editor.

  4. #VisualStudioForMac disrespects #Mac conventions by having the short cuts for cut, copy & paste as ⌃X, ⌃C & ⌃V mirroring Windows rather than ⌘X, ⌘C & ⌘V which is standard in Mac apps. This is confusing when switching between apps. Even #MicrosoftWord uses the standard Mac shortcuts, just to make this all the more confusing!

  5. creating a High Contrast Mode for #VisualStudioForMac. any do's/don'ts? there doesn't seem to much information out there on how to create a good one, so any basic tips are appreciated. :)
