Thanks so much for showing my video! And yes, "God" really is my last name. 😅 Congrats on the release!

[visionmajor]

Great job guys! Thank you for sharing. Very easy to follow and value was well communicated

[dotnetdevni]

I love blazor its so nice and comparable to how we used to use web forms especially so much more now with the new render methods its like dejavu 20 years on

[mtranchi]

So with WASM (say, on the FetchData/WeatherPage) does this "pre-renders on server" mean the database gets hit twice, once when the server is pre-rendering, then again from the client when the OnInitializedAsync gets called there? EDIT: No, the database doesn't get hit twice. Just read the release post, i.e. i rtfm'd, lol.

There was a number of beep sounds btw guys on your audio stream it sounded like a cue sound tbh.
Just have to say wow on the authentication stuff its always been a headace to wire up in the client server and web apis its great thanks for all the work is their a simple way then to make a app multi tennant

[ErtyHackward]

Please fix hot reload. This is still broken in VS 17.3 preview 3 for WASM hosted setup. It's like shipping a Tesla or iPhone with a broken charging port.

Dear Team, what would need to change if one had a server prerendered Web assembly application in which a _host.html file was used instead of the index.html file to have application prerendered?

[Crossbow]

Whats happening if I use SSR pages and the user clicks on something, but the app hasn't loaded yet? I mean if I click on something and the app doesn't react, it's like the app has crashed.

[xrklvs]

Nothing about improving the hot-reload issues.

[scubaaddict]

awesome stuff, very exciting. with some hosting servers websockets are not enabled unless you host your own server. is there a recommended Blazor model, either webassembly only or will web app work.

[dotnetdevni]

It would be good if u added a page to manage roles and claims possibly permissions as well?

[moayadmyro]

There is issue with Firefox browser when using blazor did the new update fix browsers compatibility

[DennisHaney]

is pretty cool. But why isnt the same mechanics used for culture?

[joshemm]

re: Identity, does it include the "impersonate" features?

[teckyify]

Daniel, you don't need to shout, we can clearly hear you. 😂
I don't get that entire part with the renderMode, yes I can see the text you are showing me, but is that relevant for me when I upgrade?

[midewestmond]

Please can the dotnet work on the long names of class, please, can modifier be removed and let use something like attributes to specify modifier keeping everything on one like make the function signature so long

[osman]

Now that we have Blazor Server Render, shouldn’t Blazor Server be deprecated?

[modernkennnern]

I've always wanted to use Blazor (read: for the last 2 years or so), but every time I try it it's always problematic; Hot reload barely works, especially in relation to style changes (TailwindCSS).

That said, I tried it again earlier today with RC1 and it seems like it's gotten a lot more stable! That's great news. It still regularly requires a "rude edit", but it seems to at least be more eager to actually report rude edits instead of silently breaking.

[BernhardMillauer]

"using static" is already a cancer, hiding it in global usings is just a no go. why hiding the source of the rendermode?

[osman]

Is it me or this dependency on web socket for interactivity is a bad idea?
