Welcome to the LiviBits dev blog. We are happy to finally start writing about what we build, how we build it, and the engineering problems we run into along the way.
Our first big goal for this blog is also a very practical one: finish and publish Nagster, our custom mobile reminder app built with .NET MAUI. Along the way, we will share the architecture, technical decisions, mistakes, fixes, and small details that usually disappear somewhere between a Git commit and a production release.
This will not be a blog where every project somehow works perfectly on the first try. We would rather show what actually happens when we build software.
What is the LiviBits dev blog about?
LiviBits is a software development business based in Hungary. We work across mobile apps, web applications, desktop software, backend architecture, and AI pipelines, with a strong focus on the engineering underneath the product.
That means this blog will naturally follow the things we are working on.
Some posts will be about architecture and implementation details. Others will be about infrastructure, deployment, debugging, performance, or the decisions that seem tiny at first but become surprisingly important later.
We will also talk about tools we use regularly, including C#, .NET, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, .NET MAUI, SQL Server, Docker, Linux, Proxmox, and Git.
When something goes wrong, we want to document that too.
Our first product: Nagster
Nagster is a custom mobile reminder app that we are building with .NET MAUI.
The idea is straightforward: create a reminder app that feels useful in everyday life without turning the interface into a complicated scheduling system.
The interesting part is everything around that simple idea.
We are building a custom card-based UI, handling reminders and application state, and thinking carefully about what happens when the device is offline, the application is closed, or a background operation cannot complete immediately.
Those details are where a small application starts becoming a real software engineering project.
