❔ Can WPF do this
Hello everyone I'm a c# developer who mainly uses Unity, I recently decided that I want to make a note taking app that had text box features like one's you see in Microsoft word and other well known note taking apps, that being said, I'd like ot know if it is possible to achieve this with WPF

Yes you can, although it depends on your end game
$gui

$guiframework
$guiframeworks
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF):
+ Has a lot of resources online due to how old it is.
+ There are a lot of UI libraries for it
- No longer maintained, as in, didn't receive any major updates since a long time.
Universal Windows Platform (UWP):
+ Fast, and has a small binary size.
+ Has a nice UI out of the box (And also there's WinUI 2.7 to achieve Windows 11's looks and feel).
- Is packaged and requires a developer license.
Avalonia:
+ Cross-platform and is under active development.
- Relatively new, so there are not a lot of online resources for it.
Note: All of the mentioned GUI frameworks are XAML-based.
Thank you all
