Hi, I'm Max -
and I solve MAUI problems that others won't touch.
Most MAUI developers spend weeks fighting the same implementation challenges - Push Notifications that break on iOS, Apple Certificate nightmares, and In-App Purchases that work in sandbox but fail in production. I've been there, solved that, and systematized every solution.
This is my story of going from a frustrated student building his first app to helping developers implement battle-tested MAUI features in hours instead of weeks.
The Story
It all started 3 years ago with a simple idea: "I want to build an app that helps students like me with their Abitur."
As a C# developer, I wanted to create a mobile app that would help us students calculate our final grades according to all the official Saxon regulations. The problem? All existing apps were too generic and didn't account for the specific requirements of the Saxon Abitur system.
MAUI was the perfect solution - I could leverage my C# knowledge and develop cross-platform.
As a self-taught MAUI developer, I started my journey like most others - with YouTube. Gerald Versluis, James Montemagno, and other community legends taught me the basics. My first app "AbiSax" was quickly finished once I had the fundamentals down. "This is easy," I thought naively.
After that, I had endless ideas for other apps - each one becoming more complex in execution.
Then one day: Push Notifications.
"Can't be that hard," I googled "MAUI Push Notifications Tutorial."
Three weeks later, I was sitting at my laptop at 2 AM, surrounded by 47 open browser tabs, a sea of StackOverflow posts, and the bitter realization: Most MAUI tutorials barely scratch the surface.
For the past 3 years, I've been developing MAUI apps daily in my spare time - and each project brought new challenges for which there were no ready-made solutions.
The Struggle
The next few months were a nightmare of trial and error:
- Sleepless nights: Working during the day, debugging MAUI until 3 AM
- Tutorial frustration: "This doesn't work for me" became my mantra
- Feature nightmares: Every "simple" implementation turned into a weeks-long odyssey
The worst part? I wasn't alone with these problems.
In forums, Discord channels, and on StackOverflow, I saw the same questions daily:
- "Push Notifications don't work on iOS"
- "Apple Certificate chaos - who can help?"
- "In-App Purchases: Sandbox works, Production doesn't"
Everyone was fighting the same 5-6 core problems. Everyone needed weeks to solve them. Everyone started from scratch.
I thought: "There has to be a better way." So I started creating YouTube videos myself - deeper tutorials for the problems that had nearly driven me insane.
My Push Notifications Deep-Dive and Firestore Implementation Guide helped thousands of developers - but I quickly realized: Videos alone weren't enough.
The problem remained: Everyone still had to adapt the solutions to their own app. Everyone made new mistakes in the process. Everyone needed individual help.
The Solution
Instead of creating another tutorial, I decided on a different approach:
I systematically collected every working solution I had developed.
Every workaround for Apple Certificates. Every functioning Push Notification config. Every In-App Purchase implementation that actually made money.
But most importantly: I built copy-paste-ready solutions that work immediately.
No "You'll need to adapt this" disclaimers. No theoretical explanations about patterns. But finished code snippets, configuration files, and step-by-step guides that I had actually used in my own apps.
MAUIBoost was born: All the knowledge I had gathered over years, bundled into implementable solutions
The Results
What started as a personal survival project quickly helped other developers:
After my YouTube videos, other developers started asking me directly for help. Instead of weeks-long forum discussions, most problems were solved in a 30-minute meeting.
- Zero-Bullshit Approach: Code that works, not code that looks pretty
- Battle-Tested Solutions: Every solution works in real apps, not just demos
- Community Impact: Fewer "This doesn't work" posts, more successful app launches
Today I solve MAUI problems that make other developers give up. In-App Purchases that actually make money. Push Notifications without certificate nightmares. App Store deployments that don't fail at the first review.
The Mission
MAUIBoost exists for one reason: Developer time is too valuable to waste on solvable problems.
I believe every MAUI developer has the right to access proven solutions - instead of solving every problem from scratch.
My mission is simple: Systematize the most complicated MAUI implementations so they work in hours instead of weeks.
