Voices Note App & OpenSource & .NET Maui

Last week I built VoiceNotes to solve my own voice memo problem.

Here's the thing: I constantly record voice notes during meetings and research, but organizing them is genuinely painful. Existing apps are either too complex or don't quite fit my workflow.

So I thought "why not build my own?"

Went with .NET MAUI since I wanted it to work on both Android and iOS. SQLite for offline storage, Material Design for a clean interface. AssemblyAI integration automatically transcribes voice notes to text.

The best part? While solving my own problem, I created something others can use too. Made it open source on GitHub.

Sometimes the best projects start this way - from your own itch.

.NET Maui & Xamarin Printer SDK & App

I’ve just released a new open-source library that enables printing ESC/POS formatted output to Bluetooth thermal printers from .NET MAUI applications.
Previously, I had developed ESCUtils for Xamarin, which has been used in many projects. Now, I’ve extended that experience to the .NET MAUI ecosystem with a more modern, modular, and extensible design. The new version also includes support for Zebra printers.
During development, I actively used AI tools and techniques to analyze, refactor, and optimize the architecture. This approach helped me build a cleaner and more scalable codebase.
While there are still some pending improvements on both Android and iOS sides, the core functionality is already usable. I’m sharing this early to gather feedback and contributions from the community.
