Went to the dimension of eternal pain and suffering and they made me interact with the Spotify app with a poor network connection 😔

If you love puzzle games, Opus Magnum is currently 50% off on Steam. Probably the most satisfying way to give yourself a headache

Just released version 1.1.0 of BlazorPdf! It now supports drawing on PDFs, better localization support as well as improved experience on mobile.

Making good progress to supporting drawing for my #blazor PDF viewer. Currently able to save drawing per page and rotate/scale them with the PDF canvas.

Try setting the 'Url' property to your base64 string, The PdfFile property shouldn't be exposed as it is an internal representation, I will make it `protected` in a future release

Certainly is 👍

Have pushed a new version to nuget (1.0.2-alpha) www.nuget.org/packages/Got...

This should now work with MAUI Blazor Hybrid applications. You will need to place the pdf worker file in your wwwroot folder and set `UseProjectWorker="true"`.

Sample app with more info: github.com/tgothorp/Mau...

Created a MAUI test app and managed to get it working, I had to place the PDF worker in the MAUI wwwroot folder and make a change to the library so that it loads that instead of the bundled worker.

Will push a beta package to nuget soon (Probably tomorrow as it's getting late here!)

To be honest with you, I haven't tested it with MAUI 😬 I have created a test project locally and I think the error is because MAUI doesn't support web works (which is used by the underlying pdf.js library that I am wrapping). Let me do some testing and I'll get back to you 👍

That's the old package from before the dependency was removed. I created new packages that should be used going forward; www.nuget.org/packages/Got...

I have moved the MudBlazor specific code into a separate package if you want to use it (and you should, because MudBlazor is awesome!) blazorpdf.info/docs/mudblazor

Have spend a couple of weeks rewriting BlazorPDF to remove the MudBlazor dependency, now any Blazor project can make use of BlazorPDF without having to use MudBlazor: blazorpdf.info

Books I've read so far this year

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Under the Skin - Michel Faber

⭐⭐⭐ Walking Practice - Dolki Min

⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Thing Between Us - Gus Moreno

If you like sci-fi / horror you'll definitely like some of these books, especially Under the Skin. Just need to watch the movie and see how it compares.

New MudPDF release: github.com/tgothorp/Mud...

Have added the ability to select text and download the displayed PDF file. Also cleaned up a lot of generated JS code #blazor #mudblazor #dotnet

Been playing Fields of Mistria for the past couple of weeks, if you like Stardew Valley you'll like this as well (just wish the in-game days lasted a bit longer!)

I'm afraid so as I built this specifically for MudBlazor. If I end up adding enough features, I'll consider making it a standalone package with a separate MudBlazor integration but have no plans to do so (for now!)

Updated my MudBlazor PDF component to V2 🚀 #blazor is a fantastic framework: mudpdf.info
