A developer is showcasing Filee, an open-source file converter for desktop that works through a drag gesture: the user holds a key, drags files onto a ring of conversion options, and releases. The tool is built with .NET, C#, and Avalonia, and the developer is also documenting the challenges of porting a .NET desktop app from Windows to macOS and Linux, including bugs found while testing in virtual machines.
Why now: Developers are interested in the unusual drag-gesture interface and the practical lessons about cross-platform .NET porting.
