Introducing Avalonia Accelerate: Power Your Avalonia Apps Like Never Before

Today is an exciting day for the Avalonia community: we're thrilled to announce the official release of Avalonia Accelerate (Phase 1)! This marks a major milestone in our journey to deliver powerful commercial offerings that directly support our ever-growing open-source ecosystem.

Accelerate Your Development with Advanced Dev Tools

At the heart of Avalonia Accelerate is our updated Dev Tools. An indispensable asset for developers looking to gain deeper insights into their applications. The standout addition, our innovative 3D Viewer, revolutionises how you visualise your application's hierarchy. Complex layouts become intuitive when seen through an interactive 3D perspective, enhancing understanding and speeding up debugging dramatically.

Dev Tools now also support remote connections, allowing seamless integration with devices including iOS, Android, web browsers, and even remote embedded systems. Coupled with detailed performance metrics and a unified visual and logic tree, Accelerate Dev Tools provides the most comprehensive toolkit available for Avalonia developers.

Native Web Experiences with Avalonia WebView

Forget cumbersome, resource-intensive Chromium bundling, our new Avalonia WebView leverages native platform web rendering. This innovation significantly reduces application size and boosts performance, ensuring users enjoy fast, responsive web interactions directly within your Avalonia apps. Check out our screenshot below to see WebView in action!

Media Playback Made Easy

Our brand-new Media Player, packaged neatly as Avalonia.Controls.MediaPlayer, provides developers with intuitive, easy-to-implement media playback functionality. Whether your app requires video tutorials, audio playback, or interactive multimedia content, integrating audio/visual content has never been simpler.

Coming Soon: Exclusive Visual Studio Extension

We’re also excitedly finalising a powerful Visual Studio Extension, designed exclusively for Accelerate subscribers (initially, anyway!). This new extension capitalises on vast improvements we've made to our drag-and-drop visual designer, code-completion, and XAML previewing infrastructure. It's set to become an essential tool for developers looking to maximise productivity with Avalonia.

Why Avalonia Accelerate Matters

Accelerate isn't just another toolkit, it's our commitment to you, our community. By offering premium tools and components commercially, we ensure Avalonia remains sustainable, thriving, and open for everyone. At a time when many open-source projects shift towards restrictive licensing, Avalonia Accelerate is our path to a stable, innovative future. Your subscription directly supports ongoing improvements and growth of Avalonia.

Looking Ahead: Phase 2 and Beyond

Even as we launch Phase 1, our team is already making significant strides towards Phase 2, packed with even more valuable features. Early adopters will benefit from a "lock-in" pricing structure, ensuring your subscription remains cost-effective as Accelerate's capabilities expand. This is our thank you for your support and belief in Avalonia’s future.

Starting at just €89 per year, Avalonia Accelerate is crafted to be accessible and indispensable for the hundreds of thousands of developers building amazing apps every day.
