Shiny is a cross platform framework designed for Xamarin & UWP to make working with device services and background processes easy, testable, and consistent while bringing things like dependency injection & logging in a structured way to your code!

Shiny was not intended to be a set of plugins! It is built around a hosting framework, so that things like platform lifecycles and additional dependencies can be used throughout the Shiny libraries.
