@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ Greenshot goes dotnet core 3.0
After the first major steps towards a new Greenshot, which I described before, I had the wish "making Greenshot dotnet core compatible". In May 2018 there wasn't much information on the topic so I tried to reach out to Microsoft. In June 2018 I managed to get a contact interested in working together, and we decided to try to use Greenshot as an early adopter of dotnet core 3.0.

I had the great pleasure to talk to many fine Microsoft employees about what of the .NET Framework Greenshot uses, and what challenges we face providing Greenshot to our users. We discussed many uses cases, some of them are probably still being worked on. At the same time I started the first work of making all the non UI parts dotnet core or netstandard compatible. And then in September 2018 it finally happened, the first alpha/preview build of dotnet core 3.0 was available.

With this available I worked for the last 3 months to get the whole of Greenshot and the backing projects running with dotnet core 3.0, which while it being very early would have been quite hard, so I am really grateful for the support I got from my contacts. While it was a _lot_ of work to make Greenshot dotnet core compatible, the UI part of the application actually was a case of "it just works", which is really amazing! And when one or the other bug showed up, the turn around time for fixes are usually one or two days.
