Practical Power Apps, PCF, and Dataverse built in the open, written down so you don't have to relearn it.

Hi — I'm Syed Bilal, a Power Platform developer focused on the PowerApps Component Framework (PCF). I build custom controls for model-driven and Dataverse apps and ship them as open source on GitHub (github.com/syedbilal1997). This blog is where I write down the things I wish someone had written down for me: how to build specific PCF controls, the Dataverse gotchas that cost me hours, and practical Power Apps patterns I use on real projects. Everything here comes from work I'm actually doing — no theory for theory's sake. If a post saves you an afternoon, it did its job. What you'll find here: - PCF control build-alongs (with code + GitHub repos) - Dataverse & model-driven app tips - Power Apps patterns from real-world projects
