*** This is currently a proof of concept. It is not intended for production use. ***

Modern.Forms is a cross-platform spiritual successor to Winforms for .NET Core 3.0+.

This is accomplished with:

• .NET Core 3.0+
• Some infrastructure code from Mono's Winforms (like layouts):
  • https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/System.Windows.Forms
• A port of Avalonia's native backends
  • https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia
  • Only the base infrastructure is used, basically this gives us a blank Form
• SkiaSharp
  • New controls drawn with SkiaSharp

The goal of this proof of concept is to create a spiritual successor to Winforms that is:

• Cross platform (Windows / Mac / Linux)
• Familiar for Winforms developers (ie: not XAML)
  • Sample Form:
    • MainForm.cs
    • MainForm.Designer.cs
• Great for LOB applications and quick apps
• Updated with modern controls and modern aesthetics
