Introducing Avalonia Accelerate: Power Your Avalonia Apps Like Never Before

Avalonia Accelerate Phase 1 has launched, introducing a commercial add-on tier for the Avalonia cross-platform UI framework. Key features include upgraded Dev Tools with a 3D layout viewer and remote device connections, a native WebView component that avoids bundling Chromium, and a new MediaPlayer control. A Visual Studio extension with drag-and-drop designer and XAML preview is coming soon. Pricing starts at €89/year, with early adopters locked into lower rates as Phase 2 features arrive. The commercial offering is positioned as a sustainability model to keep the core open-source project free.
