Hey there! Happy to announce that a cross-platform GUI for the 'dotnet' (.NET Core 3+, .NET 5) CLI is now available! We love command line stuff as much as the rest of the developer world, but we thought having a GUI that could save your settings and help you discover options would be invaluable as you learn how the 'dotnet' CLI works. The app works cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and it relies on you having the .NET Core SDK installed. Most features in the app are free, but there are a few paid features, too. We already have 1.1 and 1.2 updates planned with more features, including NuGet package management for a project, NuGet source management for a solution, and in-app discovery of .NET Core tools based on a soon-to-be-open-source JSON feed! We appreciate any feedback you have to give and hope this software is helpful to you! In celebration of our launch on Product Hunt, we also have a 10% coupon code that's good for DotPurple Pro until the 17th: PRODUCT_HUNT_JUNE_2020. Michael
