Why I built a reusable UI kit for .NET MAUI (free preview available)


When working with .NET MAUI, I noticed the same pattern in almost every project:

UI setup takes much longer than expected.

Not because MAUI is bad β€” but because we keep rebuilding the same things:

Base layouts

Auth screens

Dashboards

Forms and settings pages

All of this is necessary, but none of it is unique to the app.

So instead of starting from scratch every time, I decided to build a reusable UI template kit that I could use across projects. That idea became MAUIKit.

🧱 What MAUIKit focuses on

Clean, readable XAML

MVVM-friendly structure

Reusable UI components

Responsive layouts for mobile & desktop

Light / Dark mode support

The goal isn’t flashy UI β€” it’s shipping real apps faster.

🎁 Free preview on GitHub

I released a free preview version so developers can:

Review the code structure

Test layouts on real devices

Decide if this approach fits their workflow

πŸš€ Final note

If UI setup slows down your MAUI projects, a reusable foundation can make a big difference.
