In this conversation, Jon and Allan discuss various topics related to architecture and performance in mobile app development. They touch on the challenges of implementing the MVVM pattern and the potential for excessive property changed notifications. They also discuss the use of observable collections and the importance of using them only when necessary. Additionally, they express their dislike for messaging services and suggest using events or actions instead. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for thoughtful architecture and optimization in mobile app development. The conversation explores the use of mediator pattern in mobile and app development. The mediator pattern is seen as a solution to prevent service overrun and to provide logical separation in the app. It allows for vertical slicing of concerns and prevents the need for injecting multiple services. The conversation also discusses the challenges of messaging services and the benefits of using a mediator pattern in terms of scalability, error handling, and unit testing. The potential application of the mediator pattern in Xamarin and .NET Maui apps is explored. In this conversation, Allan and Jon discuss the concept of using a mediator pattern in mobile app development. They explore the benefits of using a mediator to handle communication between different components of an app, such as view models and services. They also discuss existing implementations of the mediator pattern, such as MediatR, and potential future developments in this area. Overall, they highlight the potential value of using a mediator pattern in mobile app architecture.
