Wow, lots of libraries and especially videos this week about .NET MAUI. I just got back from a full week at HQ in Redmond meeting with teammates I haven't seen in more than 2 years or...ever.

Libraries
Material Color Utilities
A .NET MAUI implementation of a Google library, this gives you Material Design colors so you can easily utilize them in your app plus some helpers. You can use the colors as defined, or add your own overrides and fallbacks. The readme has code snippets:

SkiaSharp Various Packages
Matthew Leibowitz on the .NET MAUI team shipped a bunch of updates this past week, including a SkiaSharp view for .NET MAUI that plays Lottie animations!
XCalendar
I may have highlighted this one before. I've built calendar controls before, and it's so fun I would prefer to just use something like this. ;) Check it out.
