My First Blazor wasm App
Time & Space
My Blazor Wasm Time Tracker
I know, there are plenty of free time trackers out there, bloated with lots of awesome features, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. This was my first project to explore the Blazor WebAssembly technology and how it would perform with timebased UI updates.
Azure Resources
- Deployed to an Azure Web App
- Secured by Azure Active Directory
- Backed by an Azure SQL database
Demo Time!
Instead of trying to explain all the functionality, I wanted to demonstrate you what it's all about. Making the web application publicly available is an obvious solution, but I did not want to spend my time on securing all resources.
Challenge accepted! I thought it would be a good excercise to rebuild the app with an "offline-first" strategy: try to make it work without having an internet connection and without having to make calls to a database. Of course this means that your data no longer exists when you close your browser. For that to work though, I can arrange you a few magic services...

Features
Blazor WebAssembly App
That moment I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that Blazor allows us to use C# and .NET in the browser instead of javascript!
Azure Resources
The ease of publishing to an Azure App Service from within Visual Studio, makes it an obvious choice.
Paper CSS
In a search for web design, I stumbled upon this funny looking sketch design.
