Comment on: Is Microsofts .NET Ecosystem on the Decline?

Certainly not going anywhere anytime soon. It's a bit of an odd article with the author using one .NET developer as the source. The original paper is worth a read but even the author says this won't be happening for quite a long time.

EDIT: Comparisons to any mobile development framework is moot, imo. AWS is neat but Azure is alive and only getting better.

Check out the GitHub repo if you're interested. Pretty sure it's using a bootstrap theme...

What you're describing in being 'designed as a desktop application with the bonus that it's somewhat useable on mobile devices' is exactly what bootstrap is great for. Looks fairly good on mobile to me!

About SingalR -- it's a really nice .NET lib for real time communications, from their site:

It's the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time.

I imagine it might be used for the chat box on the right of a subverse. I've not got that far in the code yet though.

The site is made in Bootstrap - it works well on mobile already. Responsive tastiness.
