To highlight Blazor and .NET 5 capabilities, we’re going to build a series of lessons built around the app-ideas project. Building various projects in Blazor will enable us to show the power of Blazor in different scenarios and investigate various features.
App-ideas is a project by Florin Pop that provides a list of great apps to build and can be used in tutorials for new languages and technologies. Each app ideas describes the problem being solved, the user stories to support in the app, possible bonus features, and links to resources and example implementations.
